What You’ll Need

1 (3.4 oz) box Instant Lemon Pudding Mix

1/2 cup Oil

4 Eggs

1/4 cup Poppy Seeds

1 cup Hot Water

How to Make Lemon Poppy Seed Muffins with Cake Mix

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Line a muffin pan with liners.

Beat together 1 box lemon cake mix, 1 (3.4 oz) box instant lemon pudding mix, 1/2 cup oil, 4 eggs, 1/4 cup poppy seeds, and 1 cup hot water until well combined.

Fill muffin liners until almost full.

Bake for 15-20 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Moist crumbs are okay, you don’t want to over bake the muffins.
