Description

Super moist and very lemony! Best I have ever had!

Ingredients

  • 2 cups All-purpose Flour
  • 2 Tablespoons Poppy Seeds
  • 1-¼ teaspoon Baking Powder
  • ¼ teaspoons Baking Soda
  • ½ teaspoons Salt
  • 8 Tablespoons Butter, Softened
  • 1 cup Granulated Sugar
  • 2 whole Eggs
  • 1 whole Lemon, Zested
  • 1 teaspoon Vanilla
  • 1 cup Plain Greek Yogurt
  • ½ cups Icing Sugar
  • 2 Tablespoons Lemon Juice

Preparation

Preheat the oven to 350ºF. Line a muffin pan with some cute liners (recipe makes 24).

Srir together the flour, poppy seeds, baking powder, baking soda and salt in a medium bowl and whisk to combine. Set aside.

In the bowl of a stand mixer, beat the butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in the eggs one at a time until well blended. Mix in the lemon zest and vanilla extract. With the mixer on low, add in half the dry ingredient mixture and mix. Then add half the yogurt, mix, then add in the second half of the dry ingredients and the remaining yogurt and mix until just combined.

Scoop the batter into paper liners. I use a large ice cream scoop to make sure all my muffins are the same size.

Bake for 18-20 minutes until a tester comes out clean. Cool on a wire rack.

While the muffins are still warm, whisk the icing sugar and lemon juice together to make the glaze. Drizzle over the warm muffins.

These were beautiful and delicious. They only made about 18 muffins though. Not 24. And I didn’t even fill up my ice cream scoop too full. My only caution about the recipe… so yummy you may want to make a double batch!

These are so delicious. Very moist and flavorful. This has now become my basic muffin recipe. I especially like the Greek yogurt in them. Next I’m going to adapt the recipe to make almond poppy seed muffins. Thanks so much for sharing this.
