Is there anything better than a delicious muffin with your afternoon coffee? They're the perfect pick me up when you're ploughing through the busiest of days, and you can put your feet up and relax for five minutes as you sit and nibble.
Today I'm sharing my Citrus and Poppy Seed Muffins recipe and these little pocket rockets are every citrus lovers dream! We're not talking about just one citrus fruit here, these muffins have three!
Orange, lemon and lime make these muffins a triple citrus explosion that invigorates the senses and dances on the taste buds. Add the delicious crunchy texture of the poppy seeds and you're in muffin heaven I assure you. The crisp citrus flavor is refreshing and their perfume alone will add a pep to your step.
I love them because they're not too sweet, they're soft and moist and that tangy flavor bounces around the mouth long after you've eaten the muffin.
The orange glaze adds an extra flavor hit to the muffins and a little sweetness - just drizzle it over the top for a lush, sticky treat! Of course you can omit the glaze if you're trying to be good but I seriously advise against it - life's too short! ;)
They're quick and easy to bake, and once you've juiced and zested the citrus it's simply a matter of throwing it all together and giving it a good mix.
Look at all that flavor! It makes your mouth water just looking at all that citrus zest doesn't it?
A handy tip for zesting your citrus - turn your zester over and with the fruit underneath, scrape it over the top of the fruit and your zest with collect in the valley of the zester and not all over your bench! Just scrape it off and put it in the bowl - no mess, no fuss, no lost zest!
The recipe makes between 14-16 muffins, depending on the size of your tin, and there's no need for liners or wrappers - you want that glaze to drizzle over the sides and create a sweet sticky mess!
They store well in an airtight container for a few days but in our house they seriously don't last that long. Once the family smells them cooking they hover around waiting for me give them the green light to start eating.
