Lemon Hemp Breakfast Muffins? This recipe gives a whole new meaning to “wake and bake!” 

Many recipes for lemon poppy seed cake, the simple tea cake loaf that inspired this recipe for Lemon Hemp Breakfast Muffins, contain two sticks of butter and two heaping cups of sugar! Yikes.

In lightening this recipe up, I’ve made it less sweet, fantastic to be served at breakfast or brunch. The tender crumb is not overly rich, yet and packed with luscious tart lemon flavor.  I’m also substituting hemp seeds for poppy seeds and baking individual muffins for better portion control. You will love them! 

Speaking of control, this newsletter highlights a best life living tip about giving up control and how it can help your mental heath. The key? Be like water.
