Muffins are my favorite kind of grab and go breakfast. I tend to eat on-the-run more often than not, and breakfast is one of those meals that I don’t always have a lot of time for. If I can grab something as I’m running out the door to get my kids to school, then you can count me as a happy camper in the mornings!

Since it’s almost spring, all I have on the brain right now is fresh, pretty, and happy foods. I’m loving anything lemon right now, so these Lemon Poppy Seed Muffins are my new favorite treat. I’ve been eating them as I sit in the drop-off line for my son’s school in the mornings, and then devouring them again in the afternoons with my cup of coffee while I do work for the blog. I might even have one for dessert tonight!

What really makes these muffins pop is that lemon glaze and Honey Granules on top, y’all. The glaze is made from lemon juice, powdered sugar, vanilla, and a little butter. Drizzle that over your muffins then finish with  a dusting of these awesome C&H® Honey Granules.

C&H® Honey Granules is a free-flowing mix of granulated pure cane sugar and honey, that adds a sweet taste to teas and cereals, or can be measured for recipes. I love that it comes in easy-pour canisters with recloseable flip-top lids so that you can get a taste of honey without a sticky mess! The sweetness of C&H® Honey Granules is equal to 1 ½ x that of honey, so 1 ½ tsp. of Honey Granules = the sweetness of 1 tsp. Honey.

C&H® Honey Granules is sold where I live here in Hawaii, but if they don’t sell it in your area, look for Domino® Honey Granules, the sister brand of C&H®. Enjoy the muffins, y’all, and happy spring!
