Do you have one of those recipes that have been passed around from generation to generation or from friend to friend? I have several of these, some of which are just handwritten scribbles on a piece of paper. That's the origins of today's recipe. The scrap of paper read, "Lemon Poppyseed Muffins." One glance at the ingredients and I knew immediately this little recipe was ripe for a makeover. I removed the butter, milk, and eggs and replaced them with vegan substitutes. And then I decided to go for something a little different.
Orange Poppy Seed Muffins! Maybe that was because I was inspired to do something different or maybe it's because lemons would require a trip to the store whereas I had a nice, plump orange in the fridge waiting to be harvested. Either way, the results were delicious.
