I like my lemon baked goods VERY LEMON-Y. I want the tart lemon-ness to be prominent. These should do it for you. The trickiest thing to me about muffins in making sure they get a nice good rise and dome shape. To me a mark of bland box mix ones can be that they stay flat on the top. This recipe faithfully delivers! They always rise up a bit, just as they should. And poppyseeds are just such a delight I love mixing them in. Heavy preference is generally given by me to a baking recipe that only needs one bowl.
This one does! I will do two if it dramatically makes a difference in the final product. But otherwise I just make everything go into the stand mixer bowl!
You could add an icing drizzle to these, but we like them without. We usually have muffins for breakfast more than dessert. But for a dessert I would totally add the drizzle. I like this one.
