Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 tablespoon poppy seeds
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup unsalted butter, melted
  • 1 cup sour cream
  • 2 large eggs
  • 2 tablespoons lemon zest
  • 1/4 cup fresh lemon juice
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a muffin tin with paper liners.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, poppy seeds, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
  3. In a separate bowl, combine the melted butter, sour cream, eggs, lemon zest, lemon juice, and vanilla extract.
  4. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and gently fold until just combined. Do not overmix; the batter may be lumpy.
  5. Divide the batter evenly among the muffin cups, filling each about two-thirds full.
  6. Bake for 18-20 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  7. Allow the muffins to cool in the tin for 5 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

For added freshness, you can glaze the muffins with a simple lemon glaze made from powdered sugar and lemon juice. Allow the muffins to cool completely before drizzling the glaze over the top. Enjoy these delightful lemon poppy seed muffins with a cup of tea or coffee!
