Ingredients

• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoons salt
• 1 cup unsalted butter (softened)
• 1.5 cups granulated sugar
• 4 pieces large eggs
• 2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
• 0.5 cup sour cream
• 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 grease the cups lightly.

Step 2

In a medium bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.

Step 3

In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened butter and granulated sugar together using a hand mixer or stand mixer for about 2-3 minutes, until light and fluffy.

Step 4

Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition, to fully incorporate them into the butter-sugar mixture.

Step 5

Mix in the vanilla extract and sour cream until smooth.

Step 6

Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing on low speed until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.

Step 7

Gently fold in the poppy seeds using a spatula until evenly distributed throughout the batter.

Step 8

Spoon the batter evenly into the prepared muffin tin, filling each cup about three-quarters full.

Step 9

Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.

Step 10

Allow the muffins to cool in the pan for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 11

Serve warm or at room temperature and enjoy!
