Lemon Poppy Seed Muffins

The fresh lemon juice and lemon zest add such a brightness to these Lemon Poppy Seed Muffins.

Pregnancy is all it took to finally get me to start eating breakfast regularly again. Who would have thought?! It used to be egg sandwiches most of the time but now with John Grayson my mornings are generally not spent in the kitchen. So if I am not having a smoothie for breakfast it is nice to have a batch of these ready to go.

That is where these muffins come into the picture. I even froze a batch of cooked ones so I could easily thaw them out for mornings like today when JG does not want to be put down. I love muffins made from scratch. You can make so many different combinations. Next on my list – Cranberry Orange.

I actually wanted to make these when I was pregnant because I wanted to cook a meal every week that coincided with pregnancy. I would have been 4 weeks pregnant & he would have been the size of a poppy seed. But we all remember in my first trimester I did not even want to step foot in the kitchen. Luckily now it’s hard to keep me out of it.
