    These muffins tasted good but they fell in the oven and would not come out of the pan,
    I even greased the pan! They were crumbly too!
    Needless to say, I probably won't make these again... =(

    O.K. So I was kinda iffy on making this recipe. After reading most of the reviews, I took from them ideas that helped create an awesome muffin!
    Fist, I dont have a kitchen-aid.. and my hand held mixture died, so i was left going old school with it, and mixing everything by hand.
    I followed the recipe, but added in the juice of the lemon i used for Zest. I ended up zesting the entire lemon. I also added some Lemon Juice that i had in the fridge.
    Once everything was coming together, i did notice that the mixture looked a little thick.. So i added a couple spoonful of Sour Cream.

    Using the mini muffin tin, I baked at 350 for 18 minutes
    Using the big muffin tin, I baked at 350 for 22 minutes.

    I ended up with 32 mini muffins, and 10 big muffins

    I gave some to my neighbors, and they loved it! One even asked for the recipe!
    WIth a little twiking, i made this 3star recipe into a 5 star!

    Enjoy!

    I was so disappointed in these muffins. They came out small and were very dry; will not make them again. I can't seem to find a receipe on line anywhere that people are not complaining about the same problem. Help anyone?? Maybe adding applesauce would help?

    They did not turn out very good. I followed the recipe exactly as outlined twice and twice they turned out dry and not very tasty.

    These muffins are dry and bland. They need much more flavor (lemon juice and vanilla would be a good addition.

    My husband & I loved these muffins. I thought they were a little dry and will probably add more butter or a little oil next time I bake them. I only had a small lemon and didn't think there was enough zest so I added a tablespoon of lemon juice to the batter. This recipe is a keeper with modifications.

    This was the first time I ever made lemon poppy seed muffins, and they were amazing! Now for my secret trick: I used lemon curd instead of zest! I got it from a jar, but I used the extra to act as a glaze on top! Also, I changed it to 3/4 cup milk- a 1/2 cup of skim milk and the rest buttermilk. Good luck!

    I just added more milk to make it more like a batter and they turned out great. Yum!

    After reading all of the reviews of this recipe, I decided I would try it anyway, because there were some good reviews. However, I can now say that all of the reviews that said they were dry and hard were correct. I was a bit hesitant, because just looking at the recipe, it looks like it needs more oil, yogurt, sour cream, or something, but I decided to try it as is anyway. Well, I was right in my thinking. These were dry and almost hard. I cooked them for less time than the recommended amount of time, and bottoms were crunchy, and the inside bordered on crunchy. This is definitely not what a muffin should be like. I would not recommend this recipe to anyone.

    Following some suggestions, I used the lemon zest and juice of one lemon, cooked at 350 for 22-24 min, and I put some oil in there. The muffins came out very nicely. I actually found it was TOO lemony and not enough poppy seeds - I'd probably add a bit more poppy and not as much zest next time around. Like another person, i also whipped up some frosting using lemon juice and confectioners sugar instead and that really brings out a nice lemon flavour.
