This, Orange And Poppy Seeds Muffins Recipe, is a light, citrusy tea cake, made with orange juice that lends a bit of zing and freshness to it. The poppy seeds and a slight crunch to the spongy cake. 

The best thing about this recipe is that it uses fresh orange juice. There's nothing like cooking with fresh seasonal produce. Apart from that, it also contains the nutrition of poppy seeds.

Did you know:  Poppy Seeds (Khus khus) are rich in omega-6 fatty acid, iron, phosphorus, calcium and magnesium which not only maintains good heart, bone, and muscle health, but also regulates brain activity.

I have brushed these muffins with freshly made orange glaze to reinforce that tangy orange flavor and to make them stand out. You can also bake a full cake with same recipe. 

Serve these Orange and Poppy Seeds muffins as a tea time snack along with a cup of hot Masala Tea or with Punjabi Style Espresso Coffee.

You can also serve these muffins as dessert along with a scoop of vanilla ice cream and drizzle some of the remaining orange glaze from the recipe.
