These Lemon Poppyseed Muffins are perfect for breakfast or brunch. They’re tangy and sweet, and the recipe is easy to make!

I love lemons.  I mean, really, how many times can you brighten a day or freshen a kitchen simply by cutting open a piece of fruit?  Lemons will do it every time.

They look like sunshine, too, so there’s that.

One of our favorite desserts is Streusel-Topped Lemon Shortbread Bars, which tells you they are good because we are chocolate-loving people here.

These muffins are at the top of our favorite list, too.

I had to take photos fast because my kids did a disappearing act on the last batch I made.

Good thing these Lemon Poppyseed Muffins are so easy to make!
