Poppy seeds add a bit of flavor and texture to these low-fat muffins. Enjoy them at breakfast, try them as a post-workout snack or for dessert.

Ingredients

1 3/4 cups of all-purpose flour
1/2 cup of granulated sugar
1 tablespoon of poppy seeds
1 tablespoon of finely shredded lemon peel
2 teaspoons of baking powder
1/2 teaspoon of salt
3/4 cup of fat-free milk
1/4 cup of refrigerated or frozen egg product, thawed, or 1 beaten egg

Directions

Grease twelve 2-1/2-inch muffin cups or line with paper bake cups. Set muffin cups aside.
