Lacked enough lemon flavor for me even after substituting lemon yogurt for the sour cream and lemon extract for the vanilla. If you are ok with mild lemon flavor you will love it, but if you really want strong lemon flavor you will want to adjust it to suit your preference.

lacks good lemony flavor - too bland.

This recipe turned out very good for me and I didn't have any baking problems. The dozen women who shared with me had no complaints and ate every one of them. I love the lemon, poppy seed combination.

they lacked flavor, were heavy, basically very bland.

The taste is ok. But not super. Not so refreshing as I would like.

I like to make BIG muffins and will have to double the recipe for that.
