This Is Us: Healthiest Poppy Seed Muffins recipe
Well, I didn’t make it to be a TV hood ornament. That right there is the healthiest poppy seed muffin you will ever eat. I made it with whole wheat, unsweetened almond milk, and grape seed oil. It’s so healthy, in fact, it hardly qualifies as a muffin.

THIS IS US: HEALTHIEST POPPY SEED MUFFIN RECIPE
It’s such a terrible time to start thinking about healthy options when the holidays are coming up and all you want are the delicious things! This recipe for “the healthiest” poppy seed muffins are inspired by the television show, This Is Us. The scene comes from the second season when Toby bakes Kate a healthy poppy seed muffin with, “whole wheat flour, unsweetened almond milk, and grape seed oil”. While I’m absolutely not claiming this to be the healthiest muffin, I thought the scene was quite funny and sweet.
Since the recipe seems to only contain whole wheat, the muffin is quite dense so bear that in mind when you’re making it. If you want, you can substitute some of that whole wheat flour for all purpose. Please enjoy!
