Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400-degrees. In a medium-sized mixing bowl, whisk together four, baking powder, baking soda, salt, poppy seeds, and lemon zest. Set aside.
- In a large mixing bowl whisk together sugar and melted butter until well combined.
- Stir in egg, almond extract, vanilla extract, sour cream, milk and juice from 1 lemon.
- Add flour and stir until all ingredients are just combnied (don't over mix). It's ok if it's a little lumpy (like pancake batter).
- Place baking liners in a muffin/cupcake pan. Using an ice cream scoop, scoop the muffin batter into each liner. The liner should be a little more than 3/4 of the way full.
- Bake at 400-degrees for about 8 minutes, you should notice the top of the muffins rising nicely.
- After 8 minutes, reduce heat to 350 for another 10-15 minutes or until edges become golden brown. Remove muffins from oven and allow to cool 5 minutes before icing.
For the icing:
- Stir milk and powdered sugar together until smooth. Add more milk (to thin) or powdered sugar (thicken) until you reach your desired consistency.
- After muffins have cooled for 5 minutes, use a pastry brush and brush glaze genersousy on each muffin.
- Allow muffins to cool completely before serving or until icing sets.
Notes
- There are so many different ways you can add variety to this muffin recipe! Replace the poppy seeds with any of these different mix-in's to your batter before baking:
- Blueberries (fresh or frozen)
- Cranberries (fresh or frozen)
- Raspberries (fresh or frozen)
- Lime juice/zest
- Shredded coconut
