LEMON BLUEBERRY POPPY SEED MUFFINS
These muffins are everything a lemon-blueberry-poppy-seed muffin should be. They have a little bite to them, but are still light and fluffy. This recipe is easily halved to make six muffins-- which I prefer, as muffins are best fresh and I can't get through a full batch of twelve by myself. I like a lot of poppy seeds in my muffins. If you don't, I would recommend cutting the amount down to 1 tablespoon. If you like a sweeter muffin, it's okay to up the sugar by 1/3 cup. If you're trying to go the other direction and get them less sweet, I would proceed cautiously, as I have already cut back from the amount of sugar the base recipe used. However, if you do reduce the sugar further, please post your results in the comments! You don't have to use Greek yogurt-- regular or low-fat yogurt will work, or even sour cream if you want to be a little more decadent.

Steps:

- In a large bowl, mix together the flour, poppy seeds, salt, and baking soda.

- Bake for 18-20 minutes, or until a toothpick comes out clean.
- Carefully remove muffins from the pan and allow to cool on a wire rack.
OLD-FASHIONED BLUEBERRY MUFFINS
AT the end of the summer years ago, our family often gathered to pick wild blueberries. Mother canned them and saved them for special pie treats during the holidays. If there were any leftover she made them into these delicious blueberry muffins. -June Morris, Water Mill Long Island, New York

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Line a standard 12-cup muffin tin with baking cups. In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. In a separate bowl, whisk together sugar, eggs, zest, juice, and milk. Whisk in butter. Stir wet ingredients into dry ingredients, until just combined. Stir poppy seeds into batter.
- Divide batter evenly between muffin cups, adding a scant 1/4 cup to each. Sprinkle with sugar and poppy seeds, if desired. Bake until tops spring back when lightly touched, about 20 minutes. Cool 5 minutes in pan, then transfer to wire rack to cool completely.
Tips:
- Use fresh blueberries for the best flavor and texture.
- If you don't have buttermilk, you can make your own by adding 1 tablespoon of vinegar or lemon juice to 1 cup of milk and letting it sit for 5 minutes before using.
- Be careful not to overmix the batter, as this can make the muffins tough.
- Fill the muffin cups only 2/3 full to prevent the muffins from overflowing.
- Bake the muffins until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Let the muffins cool for a few minutes before serving.

These lemon blueberry poppy seed muffins are a delicious and easy-to-make treat that are perfect for breakfast, lunch, or a snack.
