This a good recipe but it does need more lemon flavor! I used 3 tablespoons of lemon juice and the zest of 1 lemon but would suggest adding the zest of 2 lemons and using fresh squeezed lemon juice which seems to be more potent. The muffins were a good consistency and the sugar on top was just right.

I found this recipe while I was trying to figure out what to do with 3 lbs of frozen mixed berries (blackberries, blueberries,and raspberries) that I had accidentally thawed. I left out the poppyseeds, added a tiny bit more lemon, and spooned the muffin tins half full with batter. I added a layer of fruit, then a layer of batter on top. Sprinkled with sugar and baked. They took longer than the suggested baking time in the recipe but the results were excellent! I also like the fact that this recipe is lower in fat than many other muffin recipes.
