Who loves lemon? We really love lemon & poppy seeds & so I’m always looking for new & creative ways to add that combo to our daily menu. Since I’m all about homemade breakfast recipes like blueberry granola cereal, easy banana bread & homemade muffins, I just had to whip up a batch of these Lemon Poppy Seed Muffins over the weekend to start our days off right.

Sometimes I like to add a lemony glaze over the top of these. But most of the time they are just perfect right out of the oven when they are just a little bit warm still. Paired with a cup of yogurt or a smoothie- you have yourself one awesome breakfast. My kids love having these because they are on the go more than ever & these help them stay nourished without taking a lot of time. Muffins are such a great grab-n-go food & we all love them!

This recipe makes one dozen, so a lot of times I will double or triple it so we have breakfast already made to last through the week. It doesn’t take me any longer to whip them up & then I don’t have to think about breakfast all week long. So perfect for these hectic weekday mornings.
