Poppy Seed Bread Muffins

This Poppy Seed Bread recipe is about the only Poppy Seed Bread I will eat. I am not a fan of lemon or lemon flavored food. Typically Poppy Seed Bread has lemon in it but this recipe has no lemon. This recipe has a strong almond flavor to it with a sugar coating on top. I grew up with my mom making these into mini loafs of bread. She would Seran wrap them and put them in the freezer. Right before leaving for school I would grab one to go. By the time I got to school it would be thawed to eat during my first class. This recipe is great for mini muffins for little kids. They will love their own personal muffin!
