Citrus Raspberry Poppy Seed Muffins

Posted on January 10, 2022February 27, 2022 by Jen

From Ancient Minoans to the Modern Mill…

A Bit of History

Evidence abounds from many ancient societies regarding the use of poppy seeds. During the Bronze Age (around 2500 BC), Minoans concocted a milk from poppy seeds for sedative purposes. In addition, documents from ancient Egypt and Sumeria demonstrate similar uses. Today, poppy seeds appear in recipes throughout the world, with Turkey leading production efforts. They not only provide a wonderful nutty flavor to baked goods such as these Citrus Raspberry Poppy Seed muffins, but are also packed with thiamine, folate, and fat. Interestingly, it takes almost 50,000 poppy seeds to fill one tablespoon!

Since all parts of the plant could contain opioid alkaloids, keep poppy seed consumption moderate! In fact, eating poppy seeds may produce a false positive drug test. Multiple studies demonstrated a positive drug test shortly after ingesting poppy seeds, but the USADA (United States Anti-Doping Agency) states that in most cases this is unlikely. Despite this, both Seinfeld and The Discovery Channel feature episodes involving positive drug tests after eating poppy seed muffins and bagels.

About the Recipe: Citrus Raspberry Poppyseed Muffins

This recipe comes together in 27 minutes or less and tastes like you spent all day making it! Simply zest the citrus and combine the wet and dry ingredients together. Soy yogurt and oat milk keep these muffins moist and soft. I incorporate my favorite jam into the batter to provide a touch of sweetness. Cherry, raspberry, strawberry, or blueberry jam all complement citrus flavors well. In addition, I love adding semolina flour to baked goods for texture and to enhance the nutty flavor. Semolina flour is milled from durum wheat and contains significantly more protein and folate versus regular common wheat flour. This is due to the milling process, which incorporates the most nutrient dense components into the flour. Semolina flour is also used in homemade pasta and couscous recipes.

These muffins will disappear fast in your home, be sure to set some aside to pack in lunches or for a delicious after school snack. They also make a perfect grab and go breakfast on those hectic mornings!

Slow Food, Less Effort, 1 Ingredient at a Time

Are you striving to make a lifestyle change or looking to discover plant-focused recipes the whole family will love?

My name is Jen. I am a wife, mom, and a pharmacist. I love to cook for my family, hike, run, and read about history. I enjoy eating fresh, seasonal, locally available produce. In addition to endurance trail runs and long bike rides, I will happily set out on foraging hikes for mushrooms and truffles.

Waiting for the seasons to change, fruits to ripen, vegetables to mature, or truffles to reach their peak (7-11 years) is an endurance sport in itself.  Nonetheless, the time and effort spent is well worth crossing that finish line and enjoying a delicious, healthy meal.

I always say the slower you run, the more you enjoy the trail. Food is the same. Cooking together in the kitchen with freshly harvested fruits and vegetables is all about taking life slower and enjoying the process and experience. Plant-based, healthy food for the whole family with less effort, so you can slow down and enjoy life!
