Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.5 cups All-purpose flour
- 0.5 cup Granulated sugar
- 2 teaspoons Baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 1 cup Low-fat plain Greek yogurt
- 0.25 cup Non-fat milk
- 1 Large egg
- 2 tablespoons Lemon zest
- 2 tablespoons Lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 2 tablespoons Poppy seeds
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners or lightly spray with non-stick cooking spray.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, and salt.
In another bowl, combine the Greek yogurt, non-fat milk, egg, lemon zest, lemon juice, and vanilla extract. Whisk until smooth and well combined.
Create a well in the center of the dry ingredients and pour the wet ingredients into it. Stir gently until the mixture is just combined. Be careful not to over-mix, as this can lead to dense muffins.
Fold in the poppy seeds, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the batter.
Divide the batter evenly among the prepared muffin cups, filling each about two-thirds full.
Bake in the preheated oven for 16 to 18 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.
Remove the muffins from the oven and allow them to cool in the pan for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Enjoy your low-fat lemon poppy seed muffins as a delightful breakfast or snack!
