Lemon Poppy Seed Muffins with Lemon Glaze

I've been having a rough week and have been working on shaking it off. I knew that baking something would make me feel better, and boy was I right. These little lemon poppy seed squares are moist, tender, tart and delicious. I ate one fresh out of the oven and almost decided to keep them all for myself. ALMOST. I then talked some sense into my self and divied them up between Work, Neighbours and Boyfriend. Behold:

Lemon Poppy Seed Muffins with Lemon Glaze

Mix your dry together:

1 cup all purpose flour

1 cup whole wheat flour

3/4 cup white sugar

1/4 cup poppy seeds

2 tsps baking powder

1 tsp baking soda

1/2 tsp salt

zest of two lemons

dash of cinnamon

Mix your wet together:

2 eggs

3/4 cup greek yogurt

1/3 cup apple sauce

1/4 cup vegetable oil

1/4 cup lemon juice

1/2 tsp lemon extract

Then mix the wet and dry together until combined. Don't over mix or you will ruin everything.

Preheat oven to 375. Grease muffin tins. Bake muffins for 12 minutes or until they are lightly browned and spring back when you touch one. Use a toothpick to prick holes in the top of each mufin for the glaze to soak into.

Lemony Glaze

Juice of two lemons

1 cup of icing sugar

Mix the lemon juice and icing sugar together until smooth. Drizzle over the muffins when they have cooled. Or do it when they come hot out of the oven like i did and watch as your glaze runs right off the muffins and onto the counter.

that is all. easy peasy lemon squeezy! Behold:
