Ingredients

Original recipe (1X) yields 12 servings

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour

  • ¾ cup white sugar

  • ¼ cup poppy seeds

  • 2 teaspoons baking powder

  • 1 teaspoon baking soda

  • ½ teaspoon salt

  • 2 eggs

  • 1 cup lemon-flavored yogurt

  • ¼ cup vegetable oil

  • 1 tablespoon grated lemon zest

  • cup lemon juice

  • 3 tablespoons white sugar

Directions

  1. Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (205 degrees C). Lightly grease a 12-cup muffin tin.

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

  3. In a separate bowl, mix eggs, yogurt, oil, and lemon zest together until well blended. Pour over flour mixture, then mix until just combined. Do not overmix!

  4. Spoon batter evenly between the prepared muffin cups. Bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes.

  5. Meanwhile, stir lemon juice and 3 tablespoons sugar together until sugar dissolves.

  6. Remove muffins from the oven and pierce the tops several times with a toothpick. Slowly pour about 1 tablespoon lemon juice mixture over the top of each muffin. Let muffins cool in the pan for 10 minutes before removing.
