Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.5 cups Gluten-free all-purpose flour
- 0.75 cup Granulated sugar
- 1.5 teaspoons Baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Baking soda
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 2 tablespoons Poppy seeds
- 0.5 cup Unsalted butter, melted
- 2 large Eggs
- 0.5 cup Buttermilk
- 1 tablespoon Lemon zest
- 0.25 cup Lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners or grease with nonstick spray.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the gluten-free all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and poppy seeds until well combined.
In a separate bowl, combine the melted butter, eggs, buttermilk, lemon zest, lemon juice, and vanilla extract. Whisk until the mixture is smooth and everything is incorporated.
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and gently stir with a spatula or spoon until just combined. Be careful not to overmix the batter.
Divide the batter evenly among the prepared muffin cups, filling each about three-quarters full.
Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.
Allow the muffins to cool in the pan for about 5 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Serve and enjoy your gluten-free lemon poppyseed muffins!
