Easy & Moist Lemon Poppy Seed Muffins Recipe

Ingredients

• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 0.75 cup white sugar
• 0.25 cup poppy seeds
• 2 teaspoons baking powder
• 1 teaspoon baking soda
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 2 eggs eggs
• 1 cup lemon flavored yogurt
• 0.25 cup vegetable oil
• 1 tablespoon grated lemon zest
• 0.33 cup lemon juice
• 3 tablespoons white sugar

Instructions

1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (205°C) and prepare a 12-cup muffin tin with light grease or liners. Gather all your ingredients for easy access.
2. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, poppy seeds, baking powder, baking soda, and salt until well combined.
3. In a separate bowl, whisk together the eggs, yogurt, oil, and lemon zest until smooth. Gently pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and mix until just combined; be careful not to overmix.
4. Evenly distribute the batter among the prepared muffin cups, filling each about ¾ full to allow for rising.
5. Bake in the preheated oven for approximately 15 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean and the tops spring back when lightly touched. Allow the muffins to cool in the pan for 5 minutes before glazing.
6. While the muffins cool slightly, prepare the lemon glaze: In a small bowl, whisk together the lemon juice and sugar until the sugar is completely dissolved and the glaze is smooth.
7. Using a wooden skewer or toothpick, gently poke holes in the tops of the warm muffins. Slowly drizzle about 1 tablespoon of the lemon glaze over each muffin, allowing it to soak in.
8. Let the glazed muffins cool completely in the muffin pan for about 10 minutes, or until the glaze has set and is no longer sticky.
