Excellent I couldn't find the lemon poppy seed muffins any where close to me so I tried this recipe but used lemon cake mix otherwise followed this recipe as written. Lemon + poppy seed is one of my favorite combos. I love chocolate, but there's something about the sweet, slightly tangy flavor of the lemon paired with the crunchy, almost nutty flavor of the poppy seeds that is divine. It's a match made in heaven!

Instructions to make Lemon Poppy Seed Muffins:

1. Preheat the oven to 425°F. Grease a 12 count standard size muffin tin or line with parchment liners and set it aside. For these muffins, I definitely recommend the parchment liners, because these like to stick to the muffin tin.
2. In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, poppy seeds, baking powder, baking soda and salt. Set this aside.
3. In a large bowl, use a hand mixer or a stand mixer fitted with a paddle attachment to beat the butter on high speed until it is smooth and creamy, about a minute. Then add the sugar and beat on high speed until they are fully creamed together, about 2 minutes. Add the eggs, sour cream and vanilla extract and beat until combined.
4. Add the dry ingredients to the wet and beat on low speed until just barely combined. Then add the lemon zest, lemon juice and milk and beat on low speed until just combined.
5. Pour out the batter into the prepared muffin tins, filling them all the way to the top. Bake at 425°F for 5 minutes, then keep the muffins in the oven, but lower the temperature to 350°F for 13-15 additional minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the centers comes out clean. Allow them to cool in the pan for 10 or so minutes, then remove them to a wire rack to cool completely.
6. Store in an airtight container for 3-4 days and enjoy!
