This is a keeper. The muffins were so tasty and easy to do. I love the blend of the flavors of lemon and poppy seeds. -
I used almond milk and whole wheat flour, and I only had plain yogurt on hand- so i added half a lemon's worth of juice and a little honey. Also, splenda instead of sugar. I used a mini muffin tray and filled them right up to the top so they overflowed to create the must-have muffin-top. They were excellent! -
These are excellent as written. Someone mentioned rubbery but that is possible if substitutes are made. Unfortunately did not have lemon yoghurt but used plain natural yoghurt. The lemon rind gave lots of flavor. Topped them with frozen lemonade while they were still very hot. Thanks for submitting. -
Definitely tasty and fun to make! I did make a few changes, taking ideas from a few other recipes: 2 T oil + 2 T applesauce; 1 C whole wheat + 3/4 C all-purpose flours, as well as just under 1/4 C wheat germ that I added to help boost protein and fiber as well as offset the fresh lemon juice I added (might as well use the whole lemon, instead of just the rind!); and about 1 1/2 t lemon extract. The batter had an interesting, almost rubbery texture, but the muffins came out fine. I didn't know how much they would rise, so filled the tins about 3/4 full and ended up with 12 regular muffins + 1 jumboish muffin (baked in a custard cup). I felt they were just missing something, though, so I think next time (and there will be a next time!) I will use 2 T butter instead of oil, and maybe add a bit of vanilla. Oh and I also did not use the glaze, but sprinkled sugar on top of the jumboish muffin and that was quite tasty.

Zaar...Wow, what a place! I'm one of the old timers of Zaar. I can't count the number of wonderful dishes I cooked in the past few years since joining. Along the way I have had the pleasure of meeting several Zaar chefs. Talk about your fruits and nuts! lol. I have enjoyed meeting them all.
Family: What's to say...I have had the same sweet husband forever (Good thing....I'd hate to have to break a new one in...=) and live close to a couple of grown children. (Maybe you've met Smoke Alarm Jr. ..her brown rolls are sooo good!) Therefore, my family gets together often to enjoy each other's company and cooking. My greatest joy is six "little to tallerthanme" kids running around calling me Grammy. They wear me out! lol
For the past thirty years I have been a Special Education teacher for grades 9-12 and love it. Took some time off last year to recovery from surgery, chemotherapy and radiation for breast cancer. (Loved the radiation....I keep imagining that we are absolutely napalming the nasty cancer cells tohellandback to keep the little suckers from returning. =) My prognosis is good and now "I'm back in the saddle again". lol. Being a north country "gurl", I am happiest outside...walking, fishing, sitting in front of an outdoor fire or being on water (although in February it's a bit stiff....=0) When indoors I like to read, garden, knit, quilt and paint. During cold Maine weather I like to warm my feet on a very large ( 100 pounds of long legs and huge feet), sweet and furry golden retriever named Kerry (aka KTBRD: Kerry the big red dawg..lol) . In the summer, the dawg and I round up the grandkids, hit the local dairy bar for a Mounds Sundae that is to die for!!!=0) . Then spend a lot of long and lazy summer days at camp . All in all...Boy, Life is good! =)
