Jeronimo's Note:

Little Gems of yummy-ness. Next time I make these, I will probably add some additional lemon and sugar, as I like a strong lemon flavor.

I found this recipe while I was trying to figure out what to do with 3 lbs of frozen mixed berries (blackberries, blueberries,and raspberries) that I had accidentally thawed. I left out the poppyseeds, added a tiny bit more lemon, and spooned the muffin tins half full with batter. I added a layer of fruit, then a layer of batter on top. Sprinkled with sugar and baked. They took longer than the suggested baking time in the recipe but the results were excellent! I also like the fact that this recipe is lower in fat than many other muffin recipes.

I thought this was a good recipe... I did add extra lemon juice & zest. I also went light on the sugar on top. Will make again!

Very tasty muffins! I thought it would be a great way to use up some extra lemons. But, next time I also will add more lemon juice and probably some lemon zest as well. I included 4-5 Tbl of lemon juice didn't think the muffins were lemony enough for my taste. But, delicious nonetheless!
