I have been meaning to use my long-overdue poppy seeds in my baking. But I'm not sure on why I kept postponing to use them. So yesterday I had planned to bake the Lemon Poppy Seeds Muffins by making it in minis. To my horror ( the exaggerate me ), I saw that the poppy seeds was gone ! Long story short, my brother threw them away. And the lemons had gone bad because I had bought it last week and never use them. My bad. ;(
So I had to improvise with what I have. For the lemon part I changed to orange, and poppy seed I changed to chocolate rice. I baked two batches of these mini muffins. For the second batch, I used chocolate chips instead of chocolate rice. It's common sense that orange goes very well with chocolate, so these minis is absolutely recommended ! Again, Dorie did not fail me.
