    Looking for a jumbo muffin lemon poppy seed recipe? These lemon poppy seed muffins from scratch will be every muffin lover’s dream muffin. This simple muffin recipe is complete in just 30 minutes time.

    There are many variations of the lemon poppy seed muffins, but mine is by far one of the simpler and tastiest options to create.

    Once you’re done reading all I have to say, I’m confident you’ll have to venture into the kitchen to whip up a batch of these yummy homemade muffins.

    Are poppy seeds good for you?

    Just one teaspoon of poppy seeds delivers about 4% of your daily calcium and phosphorus needs. This makes poppy seeds good for you. The poppy seeds in this homemade muffin recipe add a nice crunchy texture and flavor to your homemade muffins.

    Are white and black poppy seeds interchangeable?

    You’ll find that the black poppy seed is more popular in Western culture foods, whereas the white poppy seed is often seen in Eastern recipes such as Indian food.

    While both the white and black poppy seeds are interchangeable, there’s no difference in taste or texture.

    I use black poppy seeds in my lemon poppy seed muffins from scratch. This is simply the easiest to find around my area and tends to add a pleasing color to my homemade muffins.

    How to make Lemon Poppy Seed Muffins From Scratch

    Preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit.

    Mix all ingredients for muffin batter in the order listed.

    Scoop muffin batter into jumbo muffin tins or liners.

    Bake for 20-22 minutes or until a toothpick inserted comes out clean.

    You’ll enjoy the lemon zest flavor that gives these lemon poppy seed muffins the right balance of lemony flavor with every bite.

    If you want to add a little extra sweetness to these homemade muffins, you can sprinkle some granulated sugar over the top of the muffins and heat for a few minutes once the muffins are nearly done.

    How do I store homemade muffins?

    The best way to store your lemon poppy seed muffins is to place them in an airtight container lined with paper towels. If you have two layers of muffins, add a paper towel in between the layers. This will result in optimal freshness.

    You can warm your lemon poppy seed muffins. I’ll be honest; these homemade muffins are tastier fresh from the oven.

    You’ll need some simple ingredients that most of you may have right in your kitchen. To make these lemon poppy seed muffins from scratch you’ll need milk, eggs, lemon juice, lemon zest, granulated sugar, all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, and poppy seeds.

    You should also try our Perfect Banana Muffins, Strawberry Chocolate Chip Muffins, and Pumpkin Muffins with Cream Cheese Glaze. These muffins are all spectacularly full of flavor and perfect to serve for breakfast or a snack.

    This simple homemade muffins recipe is a wonderful breakfast muffin or a midday treat during a busy day. These muffins are an excellent make-ahead breakfast idea for busy families.

    Within just half an hour you’ll have a batch of jumbo lemon poppy seed muffins from scratch to serve your family.

    Make sure you insert a toothpick into the center of your lemon poppy seed muffins to ensure they’re cooked fully before serving to your family or guests.
