These muffins are absolutely perfect, except for not a strong enough lemon flavor for my family (we like things really lemony! :)). Next time I think I'll add a bit of lemon extract to remedy that. (I used kefir btw) Spongy is the best word to describe them. Oh, also, I decreased the sugar to 1/3 c and they still turned out fabulous. Thanks for yet another instant favorite recipe!

Edit: I made it again, this time a double batch, and decreasing the sugar to only 1/4 cup per batch (1/2 c total), using buttermilk, and a teensy bit of lemon extract. This time, they were perfect! (Oh, and I did half without poppy seeds as my mom can't eat those, and one of my brothers doesn't like them - an easily customizable recipe)
