Ingredients
Instructions
- Mix all ingredients together in a bowl until well combined.
- Fill cupcake liners halfway with the batter in a cupcake pan, which is lined or greased.
- Preheat oven to 325°F (163°C).
- Bake the muffins for 25 minutes until golden and cooked through.
Tips & Substitutions
For a lighter texture, consider folding in the poppy seeds gently at the end. If you don't have chopped nuts on hand, you can substitute with sunflower seeds for a nut-free option. Adjust the sweetness by using a sugar-free cake mix. For a more tropical flavor, you can add shredded coconut to the batter, which pairs beautifully with Lemon Bisque Dessert.
Serving Suggestions
Serve these delightful muffins warm, perhaps with a pat of butter or a drizzle of honey for added flavor. They make an excellent accompaniment to coffee or tea during brunch. For a complete breakfast, pair them with yogurt and fresh fruit, or enjoy them alongside a slice of New York Lemon Cheesecake for a sweet treat.
Storage & Reheating
Store the muffins in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days. For longer storage, freeze them in a zip-top bag for up to a month. To reheat, simply microwave for 15-20 seconds or warm in the oven at 350°F (175°C) for about 10 minutes until heated through.
