You can make the lemon taste in these muffins even stronger by adding 1 teaspoon of lemon extract in addition to fresh lemon juice.  Lemon extract is more concentrated and adds an extra punch of lemon taste!

Also, if you’d like the lemon poppyseed muffins to be as yellow as the ones on my pictures, add the yellow food coloring.  This is totally optional – the muffins taste the same regardless of how yellow they are :)  The bright yellow color is just for the presentation!
