Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon baking soda
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 2 tablespoons poppy seeds
- 0.5 cup unsalted butter
- 2 pieces large eggs
- 2 tablespoons lemon zest
- 0.25 cup fresh lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 0.75 cup buttermilk
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners or grease it lightly.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and poppy seeds.
In a separate bowl, melt the butter and allow it to cool slightly.
In another bowl, beat the eggs and then whisk in the cooled butter, lemon zest, lemon juice, vanilla extract, and buttermilk until well combined.
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and gently mix until just combined. Do not overmix; the batter should be lumpy.
Divide the batter evenly among the prepared muffin cups, filling each about two-thirds full.
Bake in the preheated oven for about 16-18 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 to a wire rack to cool completely.
Enjoy your lemon poppyseed muffins warm or at room temperature.
