4-Ingredient Lemon Poppyseed Muffins to Make in Your Dorm Kitchen
When I arrived at Lee, one of WashU's old school, riot-proof dorms that I now call home, the first things I looked for were roof access and the kitchen. At first, I was unimpressed by both. The roof was locked tight and the kitchen seemed like little more than a small counter, an oven and some cabinets filled with mismatched dishes.
Despite the underwhelming dorm kitchen, I really wanted to bake. So when my parents sent me a muffin tin and lemon poppyseed muffin mix (my favorite—they know me so well), I saw it as a sign to go for it. I mean, what's the worst that could happen? Maybe I burn down the building? Small price to pay for some quality muffins.
When I actually made them in my dorm, the process was easy and the muffins turned out beautifully (and no fires were started—bonus!). I've been making lemon poppyseed muffins for as long as I can remember, and they're so underrated. So I hope you enjoy this recipe (even if you're baking in a subpar kitchen).
