Lavender Lemon Poppy Seed Muffin Mix: Zesty Citrus, Lavender Lift
Save
Our Lavender Lemon Poppy Seed Muffin Mix makes the brunch muffin that always looks a little more put-together than it was. Bright, zesty citrus and tiny poppy seeds get a lavender lift, and it all comes together with hardly any measuring.
The flavor
Lemon leads, poppy seeds add a gentle crunch, and lavender rounds things out with a soft floral note. It is brighter and lighter than the Blueberry muffin mix, and a natural partner for tea, coffee and spring brunches.
Baking better muffins
- Do not overmix. Stir until the flour disappears and stop. Lumpy batter means tender muffins.
- Use liners or grease well. Poppy seed muffins can cling to bare pans.
- Fill cups generously for rounded tops.
- Cool a few minutes in the pan, then move to a rack so the bottoms do not steam and turn soggy.

Where it fits
This mix is right at home on a Mother's Day tray, a bridal shower brunch table or a regular Tuesday that needs help. Mini muffins make great bite-size party food; just start checking them well before the standard bake time.
Storing
Keep the mix sealed in a cool, dry cupboard. Store baked muffins airtight at room temperature for a couple of days, or freeze them individually and warm before serving.

Can I add fresh lemon zest?
Yes. A little extra zest stirred into the batter makes the lemon pop even more.
