Ingredients

• 2 cups All-purpose flour
• 1 cup Granulated sugar
• 1 tablespoon Baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoon Baking soda
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 2 tablespoons Poppy seeds
• 0.5 cup Unsalted butter, melted
• 2 pieces Large eggs
• 0.75 cup Greek yogurt (or sour cream)
• 0.25 cup Whole milk
• 0.25 cup Fresh lemon juice
• 2 tablespoons Lemon zest
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners or lightly grease each cup with cooking spray.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and poppy seeds until fully combined.

Step 3

In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the melted butter, eggs, Greek yogurt, milk, lemon juice, lemon zest, and vanilla extract until smooth.

Step 4

Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and gently stir until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; the batter should be slightly lumpy.

Step 5

Divide the batter evenly among the prepared muffin cups, filling each about 3/4 full.

Step 6

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

Step 7

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

Step 8

Serve warm or at room temperature and enjoy your delicious lemon poppy muffins!
