Up until few years ago, I really didn’t’ like poppy seeds. As a little girl poppy seeds in desserts could have ruined my enjoyment, but not today! Today I truly can’t resist a good poppy seeds cake, cookies and even homemade poppy seeds bread.

I made these white chocolate poppy seeds muffins a few times recently, and every single time it was simply a hit and everyone just loved these. It’s so easy to make, dotted with white chocolate chips that combines perfectly with the poppy seeds.

These white chocolate poppy seeds muffins can make a great afternoon snack or a quick sweet breakfast on the go. You only need one bowl and a whisk to make them, and it’s so soft, rich and melts-in-your-mouth. Poppy seeds lovers – these muffins are for you!
