Tender lemony muffins  with  the added crunch of poppy seeds are perfect for breakfast or tucking into a lunch pail.

Lemon Poppy Seed Muffins

By Sue Lau | Palatable Pastime

It’s  time for Muffin  Monday again and I have been wanting  to post these muffins for you for a bit, but things have kept  getting  in my way. But at  long last here they are, very  retro  and very good!

These have been a longtime favorite of mine (you know I love lemon, right?) and for me these are perfect to  nibble on while sipping a cup  of hot jasmine  flower tea.

These have just the right  balance of sweetness and tart lemon flavor. I’ve  used  some of the powdered lemon  peel  I  picked up the  last time I was out at Penzey’s spice shop. The great  part is if you don’t have one of those shops near you, it is also available online—> here. I do like it, not just in this but in smooth things I don’t really want to see bits of yellow zest in. So  it does have  multipurpose uses.

There’s quite a selection  of summery muffins here to peruse!
