Great recipe! The muffins turned out very light, airy, and fluffly. While I prefer denser muffins, my fiance loved them. I used the full 2 tbsp. of poppy seed and did not think it was too much at all. Because my fiance is diabetic I tried to reduce the sugar content by using 1 box of Jell-O sugar-free/fat free lemon pudding and it seemed to work out fine (please note the sugarfree pudding boxes contain only 1oz.).
Thank you for sharing!

Super delicious! I made these for my son's birthday breakfast and they were a hit. I added a lemon glaze made of powdered sugar and lemon juice. That made them just a bit more lemony. This is a keeper of a recipe for sure.

Excellent! Moist and great texture! I didn't have lemon flavored cake mix or pudding, so I used a yellow cake mix, vanilla pudding mix, and then added the zest of one lemon. It still had the great lemon-y flavor. Will use this one again as both kids and hubby devoured them!
