- 3/4 cup granulated sugar
- 2 tbsp poppy seeds
- 2 tsp baking powder
- 1/2 tsp baking soda
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 2 large eggs
- 1 cup plain yogurt
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter melted and cooled
- zest of 2 lemons
- juice of 1 lemon
- 1 vanilla extract
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a muffin tin with paper liners or grease it well.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, sugar, poppy seeds, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Mix them together until well combined.
- In another bowl, whisk together the eggs, plain yogurt, melted butter, lemon zest, lemon juice, and vanilla extract until well blended.
- Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; a few lumps are okay.
- Spoon the muffin batter into the prepared muffin tin, filling each cup about 2/3 full.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean or with just a few crumbs.
- While the muffins are baking, you can prepare the optional glaze. In a small bowl, whisk together the powdered sugar and lemon juice until you have a smooth glaze.
- Once the muffins are done, remove them from the oven and allow them to cool in the muffin tin for a few minutes. Then, transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
- If desired, drizzle the lemon glaze over the cooled muffins.
- Enjoy your homemade lemon poppy seed muffins!These muffins are perfect for breakfast, brunch, or as a tasty snack. The combination of lemon and poppy seeds gives them a delightful, zesty flavor.
