The punchy lemon flavour, soft sponge, and crunchy poppyseeds work wonders together.

These lemon poppy seed muffins have a zingy citrus flavour from the lemon curd. Unlike our lemon muffins, these muffins are made with poppy seeds. Bake a batch of 12 in just 20 minutes. Ideal for bake sales, parties, or picnics.
