Healthy Lemon Poppyseed Muffins- these breakfast muffins are super easy to throw together, dairy free, and something the whole family will love!
It’s practically summer here in Nashville this week and I’m LOVING it so much! It’s in the 80s ALL week and after a flood of rain last week, this sunny weather is much appreciated :)

Today we’re talking MUFFINS. These Healthy Lemon Poppyseed Muffins to be precise. I’ve been eating a lot of muffins lately and I’m not really sure there’s a logical explanation why. Maybe Baby Britnell is a huge muffin fan?? Either way, the muffins have ranged from full blown homemade (like today) and other times it’s the muffins in a bag where you just add a bit of milk (I not so secretly totally love those muffins!).

I had never really tried my hand at lemon poppyseed muffins until recently but now I’m totally obsessed with them and have been happy to have multiple batches around the house as I was testing and photographing them.

Sometimes the thought of making muffins in the morning is rather daunting. Like it’s some great feat. But then I remember that it’s essentially just mixing a few basic ingredients into a large bowl, pouring in muffin tins, and then waiting. One small pep talk on a Saturday morning and muffins are well on their way to being made. Sometimes I cut the recipe in half so that there are just enough muffins for us to eat over a 2(ish) day period. But then other days I just dive in and make the whole batch. Yay muffins for the whole week!

I’ve been stuck in a rotating cycle of these Healthy Lemon Poppyseed Muffins and then very similar blueberry muffins. I’m totally open to other great muffins recipes…..I really should try something new every once in a while, right?
