Thanks for an awesome recipe 🙂 comment icon 123 more comments Just don’t even go there in your mind, because I was there in real life and it wasn’t pretty. But it was delicious. It was stuff it in your face ASAP and eat every crumb off the floor embarrassingly, wildly delicious. I have been trying to get more lemon – check – honey – check – and chia seeds – check – in my life after having a head cold and also being gifted a cute little jar of chia seeds by a sweet friend. And CHIA SEEDS?! Hello, where have you been all my life? Sometimes I think I live under a rock. One thing though: I can’t taste anything. Like I might have mentioned, I have this horrible head cold — which, one thing you might not know about me yet is that when I have a head cold, or any kind of physical ailment, you’re going to know about it until every last little sniffle and throat itch and .5 degrees above normal temperature is gone, and yes, I married a saint who somehow manages to avoid duct taping my mouth shut and blocking WebMD on all my devices when I am not well — but one of the symptoms that comes with this horrible head cold is not being able to taste anything. I took a bite of muffin this morning and chewed, and chewed, and chewed, waiting for the flavor in my mouth. Nothing. So then I made the most amazing in the world creamy honey butter glaze that sets up perfectly and looks like smooth dreamy drippy puddle crowning each little muffin, and guess what? Then I could taste the moist lemony zing of the lemon muffins! Which leads us back to the scenario I was describing at the beginning of the post that you weren’t supposed to image. Don’t. Stop. Don’t do it. This could mean a few things: Chia? Well, chia seeds are awesome. I don’t even know that much about chia seeds and I still think they’re awesome. They’re crunchy and cute and can be sprinkled on just about anything, but when you let them soak with overnight oats they get kind of gelatinous. Fun to say that word, right? In this recipe they’re kind of halvsies replacing poppy seeds. It feels good to be a foodie hipster, doesn’t it? These muffins will melt in your mouth with the most deliciously moist texture, the brightest, lightest lemon zing and the barely there pop of the chia and poppy seeds. AND THE GLAZE YOU GUYS. Just plan to double it. I’m just telling you right now. You think I’m joking but I definitely don’t joke about honey glaze. This is my permanent honey lemon home therapy remedy thing, and don’t even try to stop me. 4.2 from 19 reviews
