Here is my entry to qurator hive top-chef: lemons.
Lemon poppy seed muffins
we don't grow lemons here in norway but we have plenty of poppies that spread hemselves all around the garden and in the cracks between the slate slabs in front of our house.
these awesome pods are full of hundreds of seeds and there are hundreds of these pods so the poppy seeds in this recipe are from the garden. the pods are so cool looking that every guest at my daughter's wedding got one in the decoration of their dinner plate .
Ingredients:
1 large lemon
1/3 cup sugar
1/3 cup poppy seed oil or your favorite oil for baking
lemon zest from a whole lemon
1/3 cup blue poppy seeds
1.5 cup flour
1 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp of salt
3/4 cup warm water
lemon juice and grated lemon zest
mix 2 tbsp lemon juice and the warm water .
Add the sugar .
Then the oil and stir until sugar is dissolved.
Mix all the dry ingredients together thoroughly: flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt.
using a sifter if you have one add the flour mixture to the lemon water.
Blend all ingredients carefully and slowly only until the ingredients are partially blended. do not mix more than necessary
Add poppy seeds and lemon zest and stir as little as it takes to mix almost completely. a little unmixed dry ingredients is better than overdoing it.
Fill the muffin forms with batter about 3/4 full. don't bake the flowers they are only decoration for the photo. i usually avoid flowery photos but we have so many poppies everywhere we have to be careful not to step in them as we go in and out the front door. so we have to pick some and they end up on the kitchen table anyway.
.
Bake it in preheated oven 180 C / 350F around 18-20 minutes.
cool on a wire rack.
the lemon poppy muffin are ready to enjoy
Wow, they look beautiful and it is a simple recipe that we can prepare, even if we are not bakers. Thanks for sharing. Regards.
if you do make these please let me know how they turn out.
thanks for stopping by
These cupcakes are delicious @eolianpariah2, I find this recipe ingenious, and the photos of the poppy capsules are very good. I think I have tried these seeds sprinkled on top of wholemeal bread, but in this way that you can surely appreciate its flavor better, it must be a real discovery for me. Thank you for sharing your great recipes in the Plant Power Vegan community. Greetings.
yes i like the way the poppy seeds crunch in the mouth😛 mixing with the sweet sour lemony flavor.
thanks so much for your kind ssupport
