Recipe: Blueberry Lemon Poppy Seed Muffins

Sharing is caring!

Now that I’m spending more time at home with my family, I have so much more time on my hands. So, I took our current predicament as an opportunity to try new things like baking. I’ve always wanted to try more baking recipes and now, I have this new found love for it.

I remember tasting a blueberry lemon poppy seed muffin at a local bakery a while back and I always wanted to try to recreate it but I just never had the time. Now I do and I’ve enjoyed every minute creating these simple yet super tasty muffins.

These Blueberry Lemon Poppy Seed Muffins are a tasty variation on the classic lemon and poppy seed muffins, but now bursting with fresh blueberries. These bakery style muffins are perfect for breakfast, brunch or dessert and can be made in 30 minutes.
