These Lemon Poppy Seed Muffins are made with whole wheat pastry flour for a healthy addition to your day.
When life gives you lemons, make lemonade or bake up a batch of these lemon poppy seed muffins.
Life is funny sometimes. It’s always evolving and changing.
We have to learn to adapt to our new daily routine. I’m a creature of habit and don’t want to come out of my shell and do things differently.
At least there are some constants in my life. I know there are more changes to come so I need to just embrace it with a smile.
After you make the muffins, make up a crazy amazing batch of lemon curd a la David Lebovitz and slather it on top before enjoying.
Or cut the muffins half and spread the lemon curd like butter!
The lemon curd is so good that you will probably eat a few spoonfuls before you spread it on top of the muffins but that’s okay since it makes plenty.
Enough to also spoon over vanilla ice cream and add some ripe summer berries.
Damn, that sounds pretty good right now!
