Blueberry Lemon Poppyseed Muffins

If I am being honest, Blueberry Lemon Poppyseed Muffins are my favorite. They are delicious because they are blueberry, lemon, and poppyseed, but they are also soft and edible because of the way in which they are made. If you’ve ever wanted to eat something flavorful and a bit new for breakfast, then you need to try out these muffins! 

Blueberry Lemon Poppyseed Muffins

There aren’t a lot of times I have made homemade muffins with poppyseed. However, these poppyseed muffins are not only tasty, they are actually very easy to make! If you have kids that enjoy helping you bake, then these muffins are perfect for you to bake with them.

The first time I tried a poppyseed muffin I was totally addicted! I remember I bought one from one of those street vendors and remember thinking to myself “what kind of delicious magic is this?”

Ingredients for Blueberry Lemon Poppyseed Muffins 

When it comes to making these muffins, you may be wondering what ingredients go in them. You don’t need fancy ingredients to make yummy desserts! Let me walk you through some of these ingredients, so you know what you need. 

Blueberries – I truly love that these blueberries are fresh. If you can get your hands on fresh blueberries then I promise you will love it so much. 

Poppy seeds – If this is your first dish using poppy seeds, then you are going to love it! Poppy seeds are very tasty, if you know which recipes they go well in, then you will be set. 

Lemon zest – This is a star ingredient that really helps bring the flavor to these muffins. I am not a fan of zesting but it’s totally worth it every time, see what I mean with these Light and Amazing Lemon Ricotta Pancakes.

Plain whole milk yogurt – This ingredient also helps bring these muffins together. If you haven’t used plain whole milk yogurt in muffins before, give it a try!
