I’ve been craving lemon lately. I think because it feels springy…and I’m certainly in the mood for warmer weather! I’ve been making cucumber lemon water, lemon zest broccoli and even making roll-on perfume.


My recipe for my lemon poppy seed bread with sugar glaze was recently shared over on Hometalk and received over 10,000 views! So, I’d say it’s a pretty tasty recipe!

I decided to take the same recipe I used for the loaf of lemon poppy seed bread, but turn it into a muffin! Muffins are just so much easier for my family because they are more portable…and we are always running out the door!

I asked if I should share the recipe for these lemon poppy seed muffins or for my breakfast potatoes…and it was a close call! But the lemon poppy seed muffins won!

Grab And Go Breakfast


Quick and easy recipes are definitely my go-to for breakfast during the week. I typically make blueberry, strawberry oatmeal or zucchini chocolate chip muffins. I make my more labor intensive breakfast recipes on the weekend, like breakfast migas, mini quiches with bacon, or bacon, egg and cheese cups.

Breakfast Loaf Breads

  • Almond Flour Bread: Low Carb & Gluten Free

As expected, these muffins were scarfed down in no time! Everyone loves them! …and I like them most because they are so easy to make and the cleanup is minimal! Woot woot!


These muffins are the perfect addition to brunch for a baby shower, Mother’s Day celebration, welcome to the neighborhood gifts and so much more! I would highly encourage you to make them!
