Lemon Poppy Seed Muffins
Ingredients
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 3/4 cup white sugar
  • 1/4 cup poppy seeds
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 2 eggs
  • 1 cup lemon flavored yogurt
  • 1/4 cup vegetable oil
  • 1 tablespoon grated lemon zest
  • 1/3 cup lemon juice
  • 3 tablespoons white sugar
Instructions
1
Heat your oven to a high temperature of 400 degrees Fahrenheit or 205 degrees Celsius.
2
To avoid sticking, lightly spray a 12-cup muffin tin with cooking spray.
3
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together flour, 3/4 cup granulated sugar, poppy seeds, baking powder, baking soda, and salt until well combined.
4
In a separate mixing bowl, whisk eggs, yogurt, oil, and lemon zest until smooth. Gradually pour over flour mixture, then gently fold until just combined. Be careful not to overmix the batter.
5
Spoon an equal amount of batter into each prepared muffin cup. Place the muffin tin in a preheated oven at 400 degrees Fahrenheit for 20 minutes.
6
While the muffins are baking, mix lemon juice and 3 tablespoons granulated sugar together in a small bowl until the sugar has dissolved.
7
Remove the muffins from the oven and use a toothpick to create several small holes in the top of each muffin. Slowly pour about 1 tablespoon of the lemon juice mixture over the top of each muffin.
8
Allow the muffins to cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
