Poppy seeds and lemon are a classic combination. The acidity in the lemon balances the fatty and crunchy poppy seeds beautifully.
However, in most poppy seeds and lemon recipes I have come across, the poppy seeds quantity is usually limited to a couple of tablespoons, and they don’t impart their unique flavor as much as I wanted them to.
So, in the following recipe, I have decided to increase the quantity of poppy seeds to a whopping 1 cup – and loved the result!
If you like poppy seeds, you will love these cupcakes.

Writing recipes for a health/diet oriented magazine, requires experimenting with transforming “regular” recipes to ones that will be friendlier to the readers’ requests.
