Poppy seeds may be small, but they can add a noticeable nutty flavor and light crunch to baking and breakfast recipes. They work especially well with citrus, which is why several of these vegan poppy seed recipes pair them with lemon or orange.
The seeds can go straight into batters, puddings, and cakes without much preparation. They add texture without making a recipe heavy, and their mild flavor works well alongside ingredients like berries, vanilla, coconut yogurt, and vegan cream cheese.
