I have made these several times and they are delicious. I have never used anything other than Greek yogurt so not sure what they would taste like with other yogurt but they are kind of dense but moist. I have always made them with vanilla extract as the recipe calls but this time was out so substituted almond extract and I think they tasted even better. This is a winner recipe if you like poppy seed muffins!

I thought these muffins were very good and very moist. However, I added a tsp of lemon juice and next time I think I would add a little more.
