Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups All-purpose flour
- 0.75 cup Granulated sugar
- 2 teaspoons Baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Baking soda
- 2 tablespoons Poppy seeds
- 0.5 cup Unsalted butter, melted
- 1 cup Low-fat plain yogurt
- 2 Large eggs
- 1 tablespoon Lemon zest
- 3 tablespoons Fresh 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 lightly grease the cups.
In a large bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and poppy seeds until well combined.
In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the melted butter, low-fat yogurt, eggs, lemon zest, lemon juice, and vanilla extract until smooth.
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and gently fold together using a spatula until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
Divide the batter evenly among the prepared muffin cups, filling each about two-thirds full.
Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 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 tin for about 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Serve and enjoy your low sodium lemon poppy seed muffins as a delicious breakfast or snack!
