Ingredients
- ½ cup butter melted
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 3 eggs
- 2 Tablespoons milk
- 2 Tablespoons lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- ¼ teaspoon baking soda
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 2 Tablespoons lemon zest
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 3 Tablespoons poppy seeds
Glaze
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 2 Tablespoons lemon juice
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 425 degrees Fahrenheit. Line muffin pans with liners and set aside.
- In a large bowl add sugar, butter and eggs. Mix with a hand mixer until smooth. Mix in milk, vanilla extract and lemon juice until just combined.
- In a separate mixing bowl, combine dry ingredients and mix until combined. Add dry ingredients to wet ingredients and mix on low with a hand mixer until everything is combined. Stir in lemon zest until combined.
- Pour batter into muffin tins, about ⅔ full.
- Baked at 425 degrees Fahrenheit for 5 minutes, then lower temperature to 350 degrees and bake an additional 10-12 minutes or toothpick inserted into the center comes out with only a few bread crumbs. Do NOT overcook, they will dry out quickly.
- In a small bowl, combine glaze ingredients until smooth. Drizzle over muffins and let set.

Notes
- FRIDGE: To extend the life of these muffins, store them in an airtight container or zip-top bag in the fridge for up to a week.
- FREEZER: Muffins actually freeze really well. I’d recommend freezing these poppy seed muffins without the glaze, but you can freeze leftovers that already have the glaze too. Place muffins in an airtight container, or wrap each one individually, and freeze for up to 2 months. Thaw and warm up when you want a fresh muffin!
