Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 0.75 cup granulated sugar
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon baking soda
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 2 tablespoons poppy seeds
- 0.5 cup unsalted butter (melted and slightly cooled)
- 0.75 cup plain yogurt
- 2 large eggs
- 1 tablespoon orange zest
- 0.25 cup freshly squeezed orange juice
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a standard 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners or grease lightly with nonstick spray.
Step 2
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and poppy seeds until evenly combined.
Step 3
In a separate bowl, whisk together the melted butter, yogurt, eggs, orange zest, orange juice, and vanilla extract until smooth and well blended.
Step 4
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and gently fold together with a spatula until just combined. Be careful not to overmix as this can make the muffins dense.
Step 5
Using a spoon or ice cream scoop, evenly divide the batter among the prepared muffin cups, filling each 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 muffin tin from the oven and allow the muffins to cool in the tin for about 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Step 8
Serve warm or at room temperature. Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or freeze for longer storage.
