Ingredients
Lemon Poppy Seed Muffins:
- 1/2 cup (100 grams) granulated sugar
- Zest from 2 lemons
- 2 cups (250 grams) all-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons (20 grams) poppy seeds
- 2 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup (120 grams) Greek yogurt
- 6 tablespoons (85 grams) unsalted butter melted and slightly cooled
- 1/4 cup (60 milliliters) milk
- 3 tablespoons (44 milliliters) freshly squeezed lemon juice
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Lemon Glaze:
- 1 cup (120 grams) powdered sugar
- 1 1/2-2 tablespoons (22-30 milliliters) fresh lemon juice
Instructions
To make the Lemon Poppy Seed Muffins:
- Preheat oven to 425˚F (220˚C). Line 12 muffin tins with paper liners or lightly grease.
- In a large bowl, rub the lemon zest into the granulated sugar until well combined.
- Whisk in the flour, poppy seeds, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
- Make a well in the center and add the yogurt, butter, milk, lemon juice, eggs, and vanilla.
- Mix together just until everything is evenly combined and no streaks of flour remain.
- Scoop the batter into the prepared muffin tins about 3/4 full and place in the preheated oven.
- Cook for 5 minutes, then reduce the temperature to 350˚F (180˚C).
- Continue to cook until lightly golden around the edges and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean, 10-12 more minutes.
- Allow to cool in tins for 5 minutes before removing to wire rack. Cool completely to room temperature before topping with the glaze.
To make the Lemon Glaze:
- In a medium bowl, whisk together powdered sugar and lemon juice until combined and no lumps remain.
- If too thick to drizzle, add a little more lemon juice. If too thin, whisk in a little more powdered sugar.
- Drizzle over room temperature muffins, allow to set for a few minutes, and serve the day they are prepared.
