Sweet, moist lemon poppyseed muffins, made with Greek yogurt and topped with a tart lemon glaze. Enjoy for breakfast on the go, or a quick snack.
I may have mentioned here before about how much I love the flavor of lemon. When it comes to desserts, it just may be my favorite flavor. Next to chocolate anyway.
There is just something so refreshing, especially in the Spring and Summer, about the flavor of lemon. I guess the combination of tartness and sweetness is what makes it special.
The secret to these lemon poppyseed muffins staying super moist is the vanilla Greek yogurt. And the tartness of the lemon juice in the lemon glaze really gives the muffins the something extra they deserve.
Make them in a double or triple batch and freeze the extras!

Poppyseed muffins are some of my kids favorite. I usually buy them from the store, but it's always better from scratch. Plus, I can try to use the lemons from our lemon tree. It's the first year we have lemons!
