Notes
- Start checking the muffins for doneness after 15 - 16 minutes to avoid overbaking them.
- You can absolutely make this ginger clementine lemon poppy seed muffins recipe entirely with lemon, skip the ginger, and glaze it with a simple lemon glaze.
- Instead of the clementine glaze, you can use the glaze from this citrus poppy seed loaf with yogurt glaze.
