Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon baking soda
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 2 tablespoons poppy seeds
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 0.5 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 2 eggs, large
- 2 tablespoons lemon zest
- 0.25 cup fresh lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup buttermilk
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners.
In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and poppy seeds. Set aside.
In another bowl, combine the granulated sugar and melted butter. Mix until well combined.
Add the eggs to the sugar mixture, one at a time, beating well after each addition.
Stir in the lemon zest, lemon juice, and vanilla extract until evenly mixed.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, alternating with the buttermilk. Begin and end with the dry ingredients, stirring just until combined. Do not overmix.
Divide the batter evenly among the 12 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 tin for about 5 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Serve warm or at room temperature and enjoy your lemon poppy seed muffins!
