Lemon Poppy-Seed Muffins

Pin It
My mom's Poppy-Seed Bread is one of my absolute favorite indulgences ever, so sprucing up a similar recipe with a splash of lemon juice brightens up the flavors for a perfect summer treat. Pair these with some coffee or tea and pull up a chair outside for an ideal start to your morning. Enjoy!

Ingredients

  • 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 3/4 tsp. baking powder
  • 1/4 tsp. baking soda
  • 1 tsp. salt
  • 1 cup sugar, plus more for sprinkling on top
  • 2 large eggs, room temperature
  • 1 1/2 tsp. lemon zest
  • 1/4 cup lemon juice
  • 1/4 cup whole milk, room temperature
  • 1 stick unsalted butter, melted and cooled
  • 3 tbsp. poppy seeds
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Line a standard 12-cup muffin tin with baking cups. 

In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt.

In a separate bowl, whisk together sugar, eggs, zest, lemon juice and milk. Whisk in butter. Stir wet ingredients into dry ingredients, until just combined. Stir poppy seeds into batter.

Divide batter evenly between muffin cups, adding a scant 1/4 cup to each. Sprinkle with sugar, if desired. Bake until tops spring back when lightly touched, about 20 minutes. Cool 5 minutes in pan, then transfer to wire rack to cool completely.
