Easy Lemon Poppy Seed Muffins

Ingredients

• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 0.75 cups white sugar
• 0.25 cups poppy seeds
• 2 teaspoons baking powder
• 1 teaspoon baking soda
• 0.5 teaspoons salt
• 2 large eggs
• 1 cup lemon-flavored yogurt
• 0.25 cups vegetable oil
• 1 tablespoon grated lemon zest
• 0.33 cups lemon juice
• 3 tablespoons white sugar

Instructions

1. 1

   Gather all ingredients. Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (205 degrees C). Lightly grease a 12-cup muffin pan.

2. 2

   Combine flour, 3/4 cup sugar, poppy seeds, baking powder, baking soda, and salt in a bowl.

3. 3

   Mix eggs, yogurt, oil, and lemon zest together in a separate bowl until well blended. Pour over flour mixture, then mix until just combined.

4. 4

   Spoon batter evenly between the prepared muffin cups, filling each ¾ full.

5. 5

   Bake in the preheated oven until tops spring back when lightly pressed, about 15 minutes. Let muffins cool in the pan for 5 minutes.

6. 6

   Meanwhile, make the glaze: Stir lemon juice and 3 tablespoons sugar together until sugar dissolves.

7. 7

   Pierce the top of each muffin several times with a wooden skewer while they are still warm. Slowly pour about 1 tablespoon lemon glaze over the top of each muffin.

8. 8

   Let muffins continue to cool in the pan until glaze has set, about 10 minutes more.
