Lemon Poppy Seed Muffins
I don’t want to complain and come across as a “cry baby” but between you and me, I do spend a crazy amount of hours on the Club Foody website. Sadly it seems that it doesn’t matter how hard I work, I’m falling behind a little every week… I need to be cloned plain and simple, lol 😂!
Enough of me! I’m sure there are many of you in the same situation. Our schedules are tight and every second counts so we can meet our deadlines. It doesn’t matter if it’s at work, home 🏡 or other reasons, we are on New York time 🗽!
When it comes to cooking, I’m no different than you. After working 12 hours + and working on so many facets of my website, my time gets challenged when it times to eat. I also enjoy those quick, easy and delicious recipes 😋. I do have many I’ve created over the years and it seems that I’ve been creating more since Club Foody has been up and running.
Having said all that, I’m positive everyone looks for a quick snack on-the-go recipe for those mornings when we couldn’t get up fast enough or lunch time when it turns into more like a 5 minute break or even worse, when you’re stuck in traffic 🚕🚗🚙 with nowhere to go except wait! For all these moments that seem to happen more frequently, here’s the perfect “quick” recipe for you…
Lemon Poppy Seed Muffins is one of my to-go recipes when I want a snack that I can enjoy anywhere at any time. The crunch from the poppy seeds combined with the lemon flavor 🍋, makes these muffins so fabulous! From start to finish, it takes only half an hour ⏳ – another plus for this muffin recipe…
As much as cupcakes 🧁 are trendy these days, I personally prefer muffins. Not only delicious, they are also fun to eat even without the icing and sprinkles on top. They are convenient, easy to carry around and well, not as messy as their counterpart – the last time I ate a cupcake, I’m not sure what happened but I ended up having icing in my hair… I know I can be a messy eater! This is another reason why these Lemon Poppy Seed Muffins are popular at home…
These Lemon Poppy Seed Muffins are perfect to enjoy either for breakfast, lunch, a mid-afternoon snack or even for dessert! If a lack of time 🕢 is a part of your routine then don’t look anywhere else and simply make 👩🍳 these tasty Lemon Poppy Seed Muffins… you won’t regret it!
Bon Appétit! 🍽
