Ingredients

• 2 cups whole wheat flour
• 1 tablespoon baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoon baking soda
• 0.25 teaspoon salt
• 3 tablespoons poppy seeds
• 1 cup plain Greek yogurt
• 0.5 cup milk
• 0.5 cup honey
• 0.25 cup unsalted butter, melted
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1 egg
• 1 tablespoon lemon zest

Directions

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a 12-cup muffin tin with muffin liners or spray with non-stick spray.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the whole wheat flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and poppy seeds.

Step 3

In another bowl, combine the Greek yogurt, milk, honey, melted butter, and vanilla extract. Whisk until well blended.

Step 4

Add the egg and lemon zest to the wet ingredients and mix until well combined.

Step 5

Slowly pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, stirring gently until just combined. Be careful not to 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 for 18-20 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 them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 9

Serve warm or at room temperature. Store in an airtight container for up to 3 days or freeze for longer storage.
