Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups whole wheat flour
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon baking soda
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 3 tablespoons poppy seeds
- 1 cup plain Greek yogurt
- 0.5 cup milk
- 0.5 cup honey
- 0.25 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 egg
- 1 tablespoon lemon zest
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a 12-cup muffin tin with muffin liners or spray with non-stick spray.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the whole wheat flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and poppy seeds.
In another bowl, combine the Greek yogurt, milk, honey, melted butter, and vanilla extract. Whisk until well blended.
Add the egg and lemon zest to the wet ingredients and mix until well combined.
Slowly pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, stirring gently until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; the batter should be lumpy.
Divide the batter evenly among the prepared muffin cups, filling each about two-thirds full.
Bake 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 warm or at room temperature. Store in an airtight container for up to 3 days or freeze for longer storage.
