Ingredients

• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 2 teaspoons baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoon baking soda
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 2 tablespoons poppy seeds
• 1 cup granulated sugar
• 0.5 cup unsalted butter, melted
• 2 eggs, large
• 2 tablespoons lemon zest
• 0.25 cup fresh lemon juice
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1 cup buttermilk

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners.

Step 2

In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and poppy seeds. Set aside.

Step 3

In another bowl, combine the granulated sugar and melted butter. Mix until well combined.

Step 4

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

Step 5

Stir in the lemon zest, lemon juice, and vanilla extract until evenly mixed.

Step 6

Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, alternating with the buttermilk. Begin and end with the dry ingredients, stirring just until combined. Do not overmix.

Step 7

Divide the batter evenly among the 12 muffin cups, filling each about three-quarters full.

Step 8

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

Step 9

Allow the muffins to cool in the tin for about 5 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 10

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