Ingredients

• 1.5 cups Gluten-free all-purpose flour
• 2 tablespoons Poppy seeds
• 1 teaspoon Baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoon Baking soda
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.75 cup Granulated sugar
• 0.5 cup Unsalted butter, melted
• 2 Large eggs
• 0.5 cup Milk
• 0.25 cup Freshly squeezed lemon juice
• 1 tablespoon Lemon zest
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners or lightly grease it with cooking spray.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the gluten-free all-purpose flour, poppy seeds, baking powder, baking soda, and salt until well combined.

Step 3

In another bowl, combine the granulated sugar and melted butter. Mix until the sugar is well incorporated into the butter.

Step 4

Add the eggs to the sugar and butter mixture, one at a time, beating well after each addition.

Step 5

Stir in the milk, lemon juice, lemon zest, and vanilla extract, mixing until the wet ingredients are thoroughly combined.

Step 6

Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and gently fold the mixture together using a spatula or wooden spoon until no streaks of flour remain. Be careful not to overmix the batter.

Step 7

Divide the batter evenly among the prepared muffin cups, filling each about two-thirds full.

Step 8

Bake in the preheated oven for 18 to 20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.

Step 9

Remove the muffins from the oven and allow them to cool in the pan for about 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 10

Enjoy the gluten-free lemon poppy seed muffins warm or at room temperature.
