Lemon Poppy Seed Muffins Delight

Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Lemon Poppy Seed Muffins Delight.

1. Step 1

   Start by preheating your oven to a cozy 400°F (205°C) and give a light greasing to a 12-cup muffin tin to ensure those delightful muffins pop out easily later.

2. Step 2

   In a spacious mixing bowl, combine the flour, 3/4 cup of sugar, poppy seeds, baking powder, baking soda, and a pinch of salt.

3. Step 3

   This is where the magic begins! In a separate bowl, whisk together the eggs, lemon-flavored yogurt, vegetable oil, and freshly grated lemon zest until everything is beautifully blended.

4. Step 4

   Now, pour this zesty mixture over your dry ingredients and stir gently—just until combined.

5. Step 5

   Remember, a little lumpiness is perfectly fine; we want to avoid overmixing for that tender muffin texture! Next, spoon the batter into your prepared muffin cups, filling each about two-thirds full to allow for some lovely rising.

6. Step 6

   Pop them into your preheated oven and bake for around 20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, signaling that they’re ready to shine.

7. Step 7

   While those muffins are baking and filling your kitchen with a heavenly aroma, mix the lemon juice with 3 tablespoons of sugar in a small bowl until the sugar dissolves completely.

8. Step 8

   Once your muffins are golden and baked to perfection, take them out of the oven and gently pierce the tops several times with a toothpick.

9. Step 9

   This little step allows the lemony goodness to soak in! Drizzle about 1 tablespoon of your lemon juice mixture over each muffin, letting it seep into those warm, fluffy tops.

10. Step 10

    Finally, let the muffins cool in the pan for about 10 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack.

11. Step 11

    Enjoy the delightful burst of lemon flavor in every bite!.
