these buttermilk muffins have little pieces of chopped up pomelo in with the juice and zest of a lemon. i brushed them with a citrus honey and thyme syrup and sprinkled some pearl sugar on top.
they are packed with flavour.
I have been on a citrus overload lately as they are in season.

What a terrific muffin flavor! Love the addition of pomelo, great twist on a classic 🙂
I really love these muffins! 🙂
I love poppy seeds and this combination just sounds perfect!
These look amazing and your photos are so beautiful. Where do you buy your pearl sugar? I looked in the supermarket but couldn't seem to find any.
This recipe is just stunning. I would be on cirtus overload too if I were in the other hemisphere so I don't blame you, and what a good choice you made 🙂
Scrumptious looking! I bet bits of candied peel would be great in these 🙂
I just made Meyer lemon and poppy seed muffins but these look exquisite – the thyme syrup glaze sounds scrumptious!
When I find a blog with pictures as beautiful as these, I always get a bit worried that the flavours won’t ad up to the styling. These went above and beyond my expetations. Hands down the best muffins I’ve ever had! I can’t wait to try out more of your recipes. Thank you so much for sharing 🙂
