Simple Lime Poppy Seed Recipe

08 Oct Simple Lime Poppy Seed Recipe

This Simple Lime Poppy Seeds recipe muffin is my first time baking with poppy seeds, and I have never tried it before because it is not a big trend in my home country, Peru, as it is here. I remember trying one lemon poppy seed muffin when I arrived in Australia and went to a coffee shop. I still remember the crunchy sensation of the poppy seed mix with the moister of the muffin itself—such a good combo. Therefore, I joined the trend and began to experiment with different options and landed in this recipe.

This Simple Poppy Seed Muffins recipe is the perfect combination of acidity (that’s why I use lime instead of lemon)and the crunchiness of the poppy seed. 

The bonus tip is that it is so easy to make that it is perfect for baking with your kids because you mix everything, so you can’t miss it at all. I don’t know you, but my kid loves to bake with me. Therefore, every time I find a recipe that I can cook alongside him is perfect because of the 15 or more minutes of fun entertainment.
