Tuesdays with Dorie: Lemon Poppy Seed Muffins
January 18, 2011 at 12:01 am | Posted in breakfast things, groups, muffins/quick breads, sweet things, tuesdays with dorie | 20 Comments
I made these muffins– oh, wow– more than a year ago, and have been waiting patently for someone, like Betsy of A Cup of Sweetness, to choose them for TWD. Lemons and poppy seeds are one of the classic combos of the muffin world, and for good reason. Who wouldn’t want to wake up to a cup of coffee and a little lemon cake? In addition to super-cuteness, poppy seeds give a little crunch. Dorie’s recipe has a lemon glaze that is sweet and puckery at the same time…and I was generous with it. I have the world’s biggest jar of poppy seeds (seriously, it’s like PB jar sized!), so I’ll make these again, and when I do, I’m going to try the jam-filled variation.
For the recipe, see Baking: From My Home to Yours by Dorie Greenspan or read A Cup of Sweetness. Don’t forget to check out the TWD Blogroll!

How tasty looking with that glaze on there! I added some raspberry jam to mine and really enjoyed that version.

Lemon desserts are a favorite as are lemon muffins and the poppyseeds are a must. This looks delicious.

You’ve had good company waiting for someone to pick this recipe — this yummy muffin has been in my baking rotation for a while too!
I made the jam filled version for a change, but I definitely prefer the original version.

I would have lost the photo for sure if I made them so long ago. Glad these were good enough to remember all that time later!

Your lemon poppy seed muffins turned out beautiful. I made these same muffins, but admit – they didn’t look anything this delicious. 😉

Your muffins look delicious. I can’t believe I waited so long to make these, you had the right idea a year ago. Thanks for posting with me this week!

Your photo is so simple but beautiful. I found myself staring at it wishing it would come alive and step off the screen so I could eat it for breakfast. It’s obviously causing me to hallucinate. 🙂
