Lemon poppy seed muffins …
If you're new here, you may want to subscribe to my RSS feed. Thanks for visiting!
I just made these for the first time this morning. They’ve already been “approved” by Megan, Evan & myself … not to bad!!
The base of this recipe came from The Biggest Loser Cookbook, but I tweaked a couple of things for a variety of different reasons.
1 cup whole wheat flour (yep, if you saw me on Twitter this morning I was asking how/if this was different than Whole Grain Oat Flour. I couldn’t find Whole Grain Oat Flour at Kroger or Publix, so I just went with it & used my regular old whole wheat flour instead … seemed ok!)
1/4 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon baking powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup organic yogurt (I used vanilla)
3 large egg whites
1/3 cup honey (yep, that’s important … the first batch I made I forgot to pour this in the bowl … that batch went in the garbage!)
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/2 teaspoon lemon extract
1 tablespoon grated lemon peel
2 teaspoons poppy seeds
Here’s what you’ll do:
Preheat oven 350. Coat 20 cups of a mini-muffin tin with spray (I’m not a fan of sprays so I use this).
Combine flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt. Sift (or just mix together like I did!).
In a medium bowl, combine the yogurt, egg whites, honey, vanilla & lemon extracts with a sturdy wisk until well mixed.
Stir in the flour mixture until just combined. Stir in the lemon peel and poppy seeds. Spoon batter into prepared muffin cups.
Bake for 9 to 11 minutes or until it passes the toothpick test! Cool in the pan on a rack for 5 minutes. Then remove the muffins to the rack.

Let me know if you like it or if you make any changes to it. They should freeze good, but seriously Megan tore into them!!

Just hope you don’t get a random drug test b/c the poppy seeds show up as some sort of drug. No lie!
