These were good. Although, I added the amount of poppy seeds and when I bit into the muffin I could taste this bitter weird aftertaste from all of the poppy seeds. And that taste overpowered the muffin. I didn't like using the lemon extract and should have used real lemon juice. A lot of it so I could taste fresh lemon.

I used Stevia in place of sugar....not a good idea. Too sweet, maybe cut back the sugar to 1-cup. Muffins need some kind of fat....maybe a bit of butter. I did not like this recipe. It tasted like something was was wrong like no salt & too many eggs. They stuck to the paper cups really bad even though I sprayed them with oil. Recipe made 18 muffins.

Really didnt like this. I found the muffins too dense and sticky and they also lacked flavour.

Substituting Applesauce for the butter or margarine or other fat is what makes these too dry. I know some people do that, but the results in texture and taste are not as acceptable for me, and in this particular recipe , I think some margarine is needed. I usually only use half applesauce and the other half is butter or Margarine etc, but if I am making a Big Batch like this, the fat is not worth worrying about Per serving. Some recipes I have used both the margarine called for and half the applesauce called for and doing that will also make a moist muffin.

These were very good. The lemon and poppy seeds work very well together, and you'd never know this is a low-fat muffin. These all vanished quickly. Thanks for sharing the recipe!

These aren't bad for being low fat. I used medium muffin cups andthey were done in about half the time it says here. It is a very dense cake, and I most definitely would not cut the sugar. If I do make them again, I might even add a bit more lemon flavoring.

I made these EXACTLY as written. I did not care for them. they were rubbery in texture, didn't rise much and I think they needed real lemon zest and less extract. I will search for another recipe for these muffins.

These are super good. My BF hates low-fat things and he didn't even notice. He even brought some over to his parents house! I made 24 muffins from the recipe. They are 2 weight watchers points each. Happy snacking!!
