Ever since I tasted those lemon poppy seeds slices at Starbucks, I thought about making some at home but it didn’t really work out. I mean I really like them but I figured they look too much like a bread, and though it is nice to have one in the morning, they kind of look boring on a plate when you have guests… so I turn them into muffins. Well I didn’t have their recipe, but mine ended up awesome nonetheless :P. Time for you to give them a shot.
Start with the bowl of your mixer, add the butter and sugar and mix everything until light and fluffy.
Add the egg and the cream cheese and continue mixing until is well incorporated.
You are getting closer by the minute… add the milk, lemon juice and lemon zest and keep going.
In a separate bowl, mix the flour, salt, baking powder and poppy seeds.
Now add the flour mix to the wet ingredients and give it a gentle mix. Don’t over do it though ;).
And you are almost done. Pour the batter in your muffin tray and if you are not using those cute liners, make sure you butter each hole.
Bake for about 30 minutes and be amazed.
