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
- 2 pieces large eggs
- 2 tablespoons lemon zest
- 0.25 cup fresh lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 0.75 cup buttermilk
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners or grease it lightly.
Step 2
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and poppy seeds.
Step 3
In a separate bowl, melt the butter and allow it to cool slightly.
Step 4
In another bowl, beat the eggs and then whisk in the cooled butter, lemon zest, lemon juice, vanilla extract, and buttermilk until well combined.
Step 5
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and gently mix until just combined. Do not overmix; the batter should be lumpy.
Step 6
Divide the batter evenly among the prepared muffin cups, filling each about two-thirds full.
Step 7
Bake in the preheated oven for about 16-18 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.
Step 8
Allow the muffins to cool in the pan for about 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
Step 9
Enjoy your lemon poppyseed muffins warm or at room temperature.
