My latest homemade muffin creation: Orange Poppy Seed Muffins. A total hit (and great for breakfast, school lunch idea, and after school snack). You will want to make these…
Make Orange Poppy Seed Muffins with your children as a cooking with kids activity. Kids love to measure, pour, and stir! Have kids take turns adding ingredients. Leave the spooning of batter into muffin liner for an adult job (so there is no mess).
Orange Poppy Seed Muffins Recipe
- 2 cups all purpose flour
- 1/2 cup sugar
- 1 tsp baking powder
- 1 tsp baking soda
- 1 tsp poppy seeds
- 1 cup milk
- 1/4 cup orange juice
- 2 eggs
- 1/2 cup oil
- Pre-heat oven to 350C.
- Put muffin liners in muffin pan (or spray muffin pan with oil).
- In a mixing bowl, combine flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda and poppy seeds. Mix together until blended.
- Add in milk, orange juice, 2 eggs and oil. Beat on medium speed to mix together.
- Spoon into muffin liners.
- Bake in 350C oven for 25 minutes or until golden. Makes 18 muffins (or you could put in a square cake pan and bake for 30 min or until golden).
TIP: a large ice cream scoop is the perfect tool to spoon batter into muffin liners. I use this method every time I make muffins. One ice cream scoop = a large muffin.

I lived in Denmark for a couple of years and there poppy seed was used on bread loaves – simply delicious so I expect these muffins will be too 🙂
I would love to give these a try. I’m such a muffin fan. I really love orange too!
These sound like a great breakfast item as well as a yummy snack with coffee/tea later in the day.
These sound good, I never imagined poppy seeds with orange always lemon, going to make these up
These look delicious!
