Ingredients
- 1.5 cups All-purpose flour
- 0.5 cup Granulated sugar
- 2 teaspoons Baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 1 cup Low-fat plain Greek yogurt
- 0.25 cup Non-fat milk
- 1 Large egg
- 2 tablespoons Lemon zest
- 2 tablespoons Lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 2 tablespoons Poppy seeds
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners or lightly spray with non-stick cooking spray.
Step 2
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, and salt.
Step 3
In another bowl, combine the Greek yogurt, non-fat milk, egg, lemon zest, lemon juice, and vanilla extract. Whisk until smooth and well combined.
Step 4
Create a well in the center of the dry ingredients and pour the wet ingredients into it. Stir gently until the mixture is just combined. Be careful not to over-mix, as this can lead to dense muffins.
Step 5
Fold in the poppy seeds, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the batter.
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 16 to 18 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.
Step 8
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 9
Enjoy your low-fat lemon poppy seed muffins as a delightful breakfast or snack!
