Lemon Poppy Seed Muffins
Lemon and poppy seeds are a classic combination for a reason! When deciding on a sweetener, keep in mind that concentrated fruit juice will create a sweeter result than agave syrup, and maple syrup will lend a richer, full-bodied flavor equal in sweetness to the fruit juice. Choose accordingly, depending on your preference.
