Ingredients

• 2 cups All-purpose flour
• 3/4 cup Granulated sugar
• 2 tablespoons Poppy seeds
• 2 teaspoons Baking powder
• 1/2 teaspoon Baking soda
• 1/4 teaspoon Salt
• 1 tablespoon Lemon zest
• 1/2 cup Unsalted butter, melted and cooled
• 3/4 cup Buttermilk
• 2 tablespoons Freshly squeezed lemon juice
• 2 pieces Large eggs
• 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 grease it lightly.

Step 2

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

Step 3

In a separate medium-sized bowl, whisk together the melted butter, buttermilk, lemon juice, eggs, and vanilla extract until smooth and fully combined.

Step 4

Make a well in the center of the dry ingredients and pour in the wet mixture. Gently fold the ingredients together with a spatula or wooden spoon, being careful not to overmix. The batter should be slightly lumpy but combined.

Step 5

Divide the batter evenly among the prepared muffin cups, filling each about two-thirds 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 pan for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 8

Serve the muffins warm or at room temperature. Store any leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days, or freeze for longer storage.
