Ingredients
- 2 cups All-purpose flour
- 0.75 cup Granulated sugar
- 2 tablespoons Poppy seeds
- 1 tablespoon Baking powder
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 1 tablespoon Lemon zest (from 1-2 lemons)
- 0.5 cup Unsalted butter, melted and cooled
- 0.25 cup Fresh lemon juice
- 0.5 cup Milk
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 2 Large eggs
- 0.5 cup Powdered sugar (for optional glaze)
- 1 tablespoon Fresh lemon juice (for optional glaze)
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners or lightly grease the tin.
Step 2
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, poppy seeds, baking powder, salt, and lemon zest.
Step 3
In another bowl, whisk together the melted butter, fresh lemon juice, milk, vanilla extract, and eggs until well combined.
Step 4
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and gently mix until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; the batter should be slightly lumpy.
Step 5
Scoop the batter evenly into the prepared muffin tin, filling each cup 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. Then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
Step 8
For the optional glaze, whisk together the powdered sugar and 1 tablespoon of fresh lemon juice until smooth. Drizzle over the cooled muffins for an extra burst of lemon flavor.
Step 9
Serve and enjoy these zesty, moist muffins!
