beautiful! i love poppy seed ANYTHING!
ReplyDeleteMmmmm, I can't wait to try this one, they look so delicious.
ReplyDeleteI love to bake muffins and cupcakes, what I love is a recipe that can be both. Way too many cupcake are pretty terrible if you scrape off the icing. As for the actual flavors, I don't have a favorite, they're all good!
Mmm, mmm, classic muffins!! But hey, don't stop posting the cookie recipes - I love them!! :-D
ReplyDeleteThe muffins look great. Even though I am a chocolate person, there is just something about lemon cakes, muffins, cookies with a cup of coffee. Fantastic! My favorite thing to bake are cakes...I love experimenting with different recipes for cakes. It must be because I enjoy eating cake so much!
ReplyDeletenot a fan of poppy seads or lemon flavored stuff but the pictures are beautiful.
ReplyDeleteThese are a classic, they look really moist too.
ReplyDeleteI love cookies, I also adore biscotti best but most of the time I'm too lazy to make it :). I will go out of my way to make cake! Even if it's plain, love the carby goodness.
MMMMMMMMMM,...these poppyseed muffins look marvellous & so tasty!!
ReplyDeleteI love them!
lemon poppyseed are my favorite!!
ReplyDeleteI'm so excited for your cookie recipe/per day next week! I love baking cookies and my favor flavor is peanut butter. So many things go well with peanut butter. These muffins looks yummy. I've never made lemon poppyseed ones, but I do love the flavor.
ReplyDeleteI love a good lemon dessert. Lemon poppyseed muffins are awesome but sometimes they're sort of overdone. People make them all the time, but they're not always made well, particularly the commercial varieties. Yours look beyond perfect.
ReplyDeleteI was trying to think of my favorite flavor to bake with beyond chocolate. I love so many: banana, coconut, coffee, peanut butter. I think if I had to pick one as as second favorite above all the rest, it woule be hazelnut. There is just somethign about hazelnut.
I'm totally with you on the biscotti. I love working with the dough and shaping them, and I also love that supposedly these are the perfect coffee companion.
ReplyDeleteNext would have to be cake since it's pretty easy to make a tower of impressiveness. At the same time, it gives me the opportunity to work on my skillz.
I love lemon poppyseed too. I used to HATE them as a kid. Just goes to show how little we know when we are young.
ReplyDeleteHands down -- lemon poppyseed is one of my favorite combinations. So moist and sweet (but not too sweet).
ReplyDeleteI do more cooking than baking -- although, I must confess, I really do enjoy both. My hips just can't take too much more of the baking :)
Cookies are my all time favorite from the eating end. But, when it comes to the creation -- I LOVE CAKE. The slicing and filling and frosting -- I love it all. And it's such great fun to haul out the big guns for a birthday party by making a great layer cake. As far as flavors go -- coffee and chocolate are tied up for first at my house, with plain old vanilla being a close second. :)
mmm this reminds me of a lemon poppyseed bread i need to post soon...ridiculously unhealthy but so so worth it! :)
ReplyDeletepretty excited for next week's cookie posts!
how ironic that in a post about muffins, you realize how many cookies you make, whereas i’ve just discovered that i don’t make enough cookies and eat way too many muffins. :)
ReplyDeleteI have a muffin problem :)
ReplyDeleteI normally go for anything chocolate, but I can't pass up a lemon poppyseed or a pistachio muffin for some reason!
muffin season is coming isn't it?
ReplyDeletefav's to bake with for me are vanilla, bacon and cheddar.
I probably bake cookies the most often too! I rarely make muffins though, and when I do, I always make banana nut. Your lemon poppyseed ones are defintely inspiring me to branch out though - they look perfect!
ReplyDeleteThose would pack beautifully and be very easy to mail. Hint, hint.
ReplyDeleteHands down lemon is my favourite flavouring sweet or savoury...give me a poppyseed myffin or lemon meringue pie any day.
ReplyDeleteI love poppyseed muffins! My favorite!
ReplyDeletei love all your cookie recipes! i just wished i made more cookies now. no one seems to eat them in my home so i've pretty much stopped :( sad times.
ReplyDeletethis tower of muffins is the best thing i've seen all week. it makes me so happy looking at it! love lemon poppy. xx
I used to love Strabucks' orange poppy seed loaf..I bet this is even better than that!
ReplyDeleteDelicious!
ReplyDeleteYou should have 10X the comments you get with your baking abilities! I hope you are on TV again, and I hope they appreciate your talent!
ReplyDeleteVery light and fluffy looking! Too bad I am looking for a job and can't eat poppy seeds!
ReplyDeletevery nice photography....and equally as good....the recipe. Yougurt in anything is great!
ReplyDeleteI can't blame you for choosing lemon poppyseed muffins over the others, they're quite lovely! What do I prefer to bake? Well probably cookies too, so fast to make, bake and eat ;)
ReplyDeleteOh I love lemon poppy seed! If I wasn't leaving on a train so early tomorrow morning, I would definitely be making these!
ReplyDeleteWow! Great blog! I was searching for a homemade marshmallow recipe by images- I have been digging through you pages. Great, great! I'll be a regular!
ReplyDeleteOh these muffins look beautiful! I too, bake many many cookies - so much so that I've tried to stop now, but I miss them! My favourite flavours are lemon and ginger, but preferably not together ;)
ReplyDeleteAh, a cookie party coming up. Great!!
ReplyDeleteI personally think there is a dirth of great--and I mean fab.ul.ous. muffin recipes out there. It's too bad.
What cute little bundles of joy!
