ALMOND POPPY SEED CAKE OR MUFFINS

Yum, Yum, Yum. If you are a poppy seed fan, make these. They got rave reviews by everyone!

You can find the recipe at “Straight Up Food”: Almond-Poppy Seed Cake.

Whether or not poppy seeds can make you fail a drug test depends on several factors including:

-How the poppy seeds are manufactured, ie how well they are washed to remove the milky latex which contains opiates (including morphine and codeine)

-How many you eat

-What type of drug testing is done and what the cut-offs are to call the test positive

Dr. Greger has a few things to say about poppy seed intake in this video.

The Cooking Channel did their own little study which you can see in this interesting 3 minute video.

What I did differently :

-Made muffins instead of cake. My muffin pan is non-stick so I did not use liners

-Used regular lemons, not Meyer lemons

-Topped with the suggested lemon frosting and grated walnuts. I had half of the frosting left over.
