Lemon Poppy Seed Muffins
Ingredients:
For the Batter:
2 tbsp unsalted butter, softened
3 tbsp granulated sugar
1 egg
Zest from ½ lemon
2 tsp lemon juice
½ tbsp black poppy seeds
¼ tsp vanilla extract
3 tbsp whole milk
½ cup flour (I used gluten-free)
¼ tsp baking powder
Pinch of salt
Jam, for filling
For the Icing:
¼ cup powdered sugar
1 tsp lemon juice
Water
Directions:
For the Batter: Preheat the oven to 350 F
In a bowl, combine the butter and sugar
Add in the egg, lemon zest, lemon juice, poppy seeds, vanilla extract, and milk, then mix
Add in the flour, baking powder, and salt, then combine to form a thick batter
Portion out into 4 cupcake liners in a muffin tin
Bake for 20-22 minutes, until a toothpick comes out decently clean
For the Icing: In a bowl, combine the powdered sugar and lemon juice
Add in the water bit by bit, mixing in between each addition, until it reaches your desired consistency
Once the muffins have cooled, use an apple corer to make a hole halfway down, starting from the center of the top and fill it with jam, then place the top piece back on
Drizzle the lemon icing on top
Enjoy!!

I am making banned foods. And this food is so controversial that it was banned in Singapore, Taiwan, Saudi Arabia, and China, but only in some forms. I’m talking about poppy seeds, which seem harmless enough, except eat one too many poppy seed bagels, and you might just fail your next drug test. And these tiny little seeds, which have been harvested for thousands of years, are so scandalous that there were actually not one but two entire wars fought over them. Why? Well, the seeds can be used to grow the poppy plant. And once you plant them, aside from having a field of pretty flowers, if you cut the seed capsules before they are fully mature, a juice comes out, which just happen to be the source of Europe and Asia’s 19th century drug problem, also known as opium. And even though the matured seeds that you buy don’t have any in them, because of the way that they are processed, there are trace amounts of opiates on them. Meaning that it is true that if you eat too many poppy seeds and take a drug test right after, you might get flagged. Hi, I’m a writer who likes food. And today I made what is probably the most common way to use poppy seeds, lemon poppy seed muffins. And I would absolutely make these again.

Poppy seeds are the base of drugs thays why
I remember watching NileRed's short video where he use a drug test with his urine after consuming poppy seeds.
some time ago i was creating a character for my story: her mother was a "drug addict", but they lived in 19th century america as a relatively poor family, so i didn't know what drugs they could have used. 4 hours later and I'm on the toilet researching about how to diy opium. just hope no one ever went throught my search history
Thank God poppy seeds are a staple in Czech culture and no one cares about deug tests here lmao
well asian has the history or this opium drug War.. so it's it banned for reasons. also the alcohol brownies,and any other kind gummy that had drug In it 😊
You would have to eat copious amounts of poopy daily for it to have opiate effect. That is because opium is made from the latex of unripe poppy. Ripe poppy seeds don't do that in normal amounts.
A tutorial for free!
Didn’t Mythbusters prove you’d have to eat such an exorbitant amount of poppyseeds to show up on and fail a drug test that it wasn’t worth it?
I know all about this, and I'm allergic to poppy seeds. Had to go to the hospital after trying a lemon poppyseed muffin for the first time.
I worked in a psychiatry during nursing school and the people with addiction weren't allowed to eat anything with poppy seeds or marzipan
I actually ate multiple poppy seed muffins a couple years ago and tested positive for opiates on a drug test. The percentage of was so incredibly small that they knew i didn’t actually consume opiates
Not just opium, heroin and morphine also come from the poppy plant, many other opiate painkillers like oxycodone also come from poppies. Poppies are still grown in huge numbers for the pharmaceutical industry, and for the illegal drugs industry.
You could have just shown us a plate of poppy seeds. Your logic is flawed.
Why did you teach us how to do drugs
you might wanna check some facts before spewing such nonsense. just please concentrate on actually make the food they are delicious and we cannot afford the quantity of poppy seeds to get high.
Why do we eat poppy seeds if there's such a risk?
Fun fact not all poppy plants make opium just one certain variety and you cant purchase the plants or the seeds. Though she is right that poppy seeds will make u fail a drug test without getting u high.
super underrated youtuber. keep it up!
my grandpa once ate a couple muffins for breakfast before he went to the hospital… and he was flagged for drugs 😅
Interesting looks so yummy ❤❤❤❤
Poppy seeds are part of a healthy breakfast, usually a good lunch too.
Bread.
If I eat to many poppy seeds my throat gets itchy. Yes. I am allergic to opioids. There isn't enough on the seeds to have a bagel, but I am deathly allergic to morphine which is an opioid.
My dad's a medic and does security for a tribe, I always feel bad when I make lemon poppy seed muffins for my mom and he can't have any. I always make sure he gets chocolate chip muffins or even a cake lol
This feels like british properganda. its not the poppy seeds' fault that the "honorable" east india trading company decided their only solution to the economic problems caused by british tea addiction was to become the biggest drug production operation the world had ever seen.
The texture and color of the glazing is … Interesting 😀
Yay, drugz.
Feel like a lot of context for the opium wars is missing here and it sure sounds like it’s being framed as Asians being paranoid or their fault for getting addicted etc ignoring the fact Britain literally fought China to keep shipping them opium…
erm actually mythbusters did an experiment and they found that it would not affect your drug test if you had to many bagels
