LEMON POPPYSEEDS MUFFIN



This muffin recipe uses poppy seeds, coriander powder and lemon as its main ingredients. I omitted the coriander and substitute it with cinnamon. I feel quite unusual to use coriander. The finished muffins have a nice lemony flavor and a little bit of crunch from the poppy seeds. It's crunchy outside and moist inside. Not too sweet, so if you want to infuse a little bit of extra sweetness, give all of the mini muffins a generous sprinkle of coarse sugar on top before you bake them.

Entah kenapa, saya suka sangat dengan muffin ini, mungkin kerana ia kurang manis bersesuaian dengan saya yang diabetic. Menarik tentang muffin ini ialah di luarnya agak berkerak sedikit manakala di dalamnya lembut dan boleh dirasa keranggupan biji poppy. Bagi yang sukakan lebih manis bolih lah ditaburkan gula semasa makan ataupun disapukan jam dan butter. Untuk resipi ini bagi acuan mini boleh menghasilkan 36 biji muffins. Resipi asal menggunakan serbuk ketumbar tapi saya rasa agak luar biasa menggunakan serbuk ketumbar dalam resipi manis, saya gantikanya dengan serbuk kayu manis. Anda boleh tinggalkan bahagian ini kalau rasa ia tidak sesuai.
