Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 3/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 3 tablespoons poppy seeds
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted and cooled
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 tablespoon lemon zest
- 1 cup milk
- 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners or grease the cups well.
Step 2
In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and poppy seeds. Whisk these dry ingredients together until evenly blended.
Step 3
In another bowl, whisk together the melted butter, eggs, vanilla extract, lemon zest, milk, and lemon juice until smooth.
Step 4
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, and gently fold together using a spatula or spoon. Mix until just combined, being careful not to overmix to avoid dense muffins.
Step 5
Divide the batter evenly among the 12 prepared muffin cups, filling each about 2/3 full.
Step 6
Bake in the preheated oven for about 16-18 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean or with a few crumbs.
Step 7
Remove the muffins from the oven and allow them to cool in the pan for about 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Step 8
Serve warm or store them in an airtight container for up to 3 days. Enjoy!
