If you browse the recipe index on my site, you will notice I have quite a few recipes for homemade pantry staples. I enjoy making my own versions of the basics we all buy at the grocery store. If you look at the back of any bread crumbs packaging, it’s not just bread! Starches, salt, even high fructose corn syrup are added. No, thank you!

Lemon Poppy Seed Muffins

These easy Lemon Poppy Seed Muffins are light and fluffy, with a fresh citrus taste and a little crunch from the seeds. Glazed or not, they are sure to brighten your day!

Every Saturday, I set out my baking tools and make muffins for my kiddos. Sometimes I make my bakery-style chocolate chip muffins and sometimes my perfect blueberry muffins.

Recently, most likely driven by the search for more sunshine, I made these Lemon Poppy Seed Muffins. They look and taste as if they were just bought at the bakery but are made from scratch in my kitchen.

The refreshing lemon zest is a bright pop of flavor and poppy seeds add texture. If you are a fan of muffins like I am, you will love these! Serve them freshly baked or drizzle with a sweet lemon glaze.

These Glazed Cranberry Muffins are soft, fluffy and filled with fruit! The sweet glaze pairs perfectly with tarty berries.

If you enjoy baking with cranberries, I highly recommend my Cranberry Pie and the Glazed Cranberry Bread. They are delicious!

I have been stocking up on cranberries while they are still in grocery stores. I use some to make fresh juice and freeze most to make these muffins. My kids love muffins for snacks and these soft, fluffy, berrie-filled ones are currently a favorite! Since cranberries are tart, I like to dress up the muffins with a sweet glaze. It’s the perfect finishing touch!
