Since we are having a heat wave this week, I am sharing these lemon poppy seed muffins with you because poppy seed anythingย sings Spring to me. Right? Especially when there are lemons involved; lemon zest and lemon juice!

These lemon poppy seed muffins are actually not new around here, they have beenย popular since I first shared them two years ago. I am not surprised since these are always on my breakfast rotation. I had to revisit them again now that I am breastfeeding a baby that’s lactose intolerant. I’ve been slowly converting some of my favorite recipes to dairy free alternatives. These muffins got a makeover but remained just as moist and delicious.

I substituted the Greek yogurt of the previous recipe with Silk’s Dairy-Free Yogurt Alternative which is rich and creamy good. I’ve been using Silk’s products since the dairy-free journey and I was hooked on their yogurt alternative pretty early. Now, I am not found without the strawberry, peach or mango flavors. Have you tried them? They are great alongside my morning granola but also in baked goods. I used them in theseย skinny zucchini carrot muffinsย a few weeks ago. Obviously, they make really moist muffins!
