These Orange Poppy Seed Muffins are warm, fluffy and the perfect grab-and-go snack on those busy school mornings.

There’s just something about the Fall and baking with citrus! Don’t get me wrong, I love baking with pumpkin in the fall too (check out these pumpkin spice muffins), but citrus is great for Fall Baking! Not to mention, most mornings we are rushing to get out the door and while I may not have enough time to get a full meal on the table, these warm, fluffy muffins are the perfect grab-and-go snack on those busy school mornings!

Made with real Orange Juice and poppy seeds, these Orange Poppy Seed muffins are not only delicious, but they also leave a yummy, citrus aroma throughout your home. 

So without further ado, I’m excited to share this recipe with you guys!

Here’s what you need to make these Orange Poppy Seed Muffins:

• Flour 
• Orange Juice
• Poppy Seeds
• Sugar
• Heavy Cream
• Orange Zest
• Baking Powder
• Baking Soda
• Salt
• Vanilla Extract
• Eggs
• Butter (melted)

As with all of the recipes I share here on TMSAHM, these Orange Poppy Seed Muffins are super easy to whip up! Whenever I plan to bake anything, I’ve learned that preparation is key! That said, I personally like to go ahead and separate all of my dry ingredients from the wet ingredients and allow my butter to sit out for a while to reach room temperature.

Once you have prepped all of your ingredients, it’s time to start baking! Be sure to preheat your oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit and spray your muffin pan with non-stick spray!

Next, take all of your dry ingredients and gently whisk them together until they are well combined. Next, pop your butter in the microwave for a few seconds (15-30 seconds depending on the strength of your microwave.) until it is completely melted.

Add your butter to the rest of your wet ingredients and mix until well combined. Add the wet mixture to the dry mixture and combine until all ingredients are fully combined. To add the batter to your muffin tin, I like to use a cookie dough scoop but you could also use a spoon to even add batter to each muffin cup of your muffin tin.

Bake for 11-14 minutes or, you could also make sure it’s done by waiting until you can put a toothpick inside and it comes out clean. Once done, remove from oven and allow to cool inside of the muffin tin for 5 minutes and then transfer to a wire baking rack to cool completely

How To Store Poppy Seed Muffins

These Orange Poppy Seed muffins can last up to two days, covered at room temperature. To store in the fridge place muffins in an airtight container or cover them with foil and they will last for up to 1 week.
