    Meyer Lemon Poppy Seed Muffins | Miss in the Kitchen

    Meyer Lemons have been on my list of things to try for a very long time and I finally found some!  I have been on quite a muffin kick lately and I knew the Meyer lemons would brighten up the morning in a batch of muffins.

    If Meyer lemons are new to you, they seem to be a cross between a lemon and maybe a mandarin orange.  They are sweet enough to eat and are a little smaller than regular lemons. They can be pretty hard to find around here, but I am sure enjoying them!

    Muffins are ideal for us because they are ready whenever the boys get in from feeding cows and breaking ice in the water tanks.  These sure didn't last long and I think I'm ready for another batch!

    Of course if you can't find Meyer lemons, you can use regular lemons, the muffins will just be a tad bit more tart.  I do have to encourage you to use fresh lemon juice. Until a few years ago, I only used lemon juice from a bottle.  There is no comparison, plus with fresh lemons you can use the zest which really makes the lemon flavor pop in your dishes.

      Made them this morning. Delicious and easy. I just added the lemon zest at the same time I added the juice. AND I also put a little zest in the icing, why not. Thanks.
