A simple and quick recipe for moist, tender lemon poppy seed muffins made in one bowl, perfect for beginners and busy mornings.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups (240 g) all-purpose flour
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • ½ teaspoon baking soda
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • ¾ cup (150 g) granulated sugar
  • ½ cup (120 g) plain Greek yogurt (can substitute with dairy-free coconut yogurt)
  • ⅓ cup (80 ml) vegetable oil
  • 2 large eggs, room temperature
  • 2 tablespoons freshly grated lemon zest
  • ¼ cup (60 ml) fresh lemon juice
  • 2 tablespoons poppy seeds
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • Optional: turbinado sugar or coarse sanding sugar for topping

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line your muffin tin with paper liners or grease it well.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and sugar until smooth and lumps are broken up.
  3. Add the Greek yogurt, vegetable oil, eggs, lemon zest, lemon juice, and vanilla extract to the dry ingredients. Stir gently with a wooden spoon or whisk until just combined; the batter should be slightly lumpy but without dry pockets.
  4. Fold in the poppy seeds carefully to distribute evenly.
  5. Scoop the batter evenly into 12 muffin cups. Sprinkle turbinado sugar on top if desired.
  6. Bake for 18-22 minutes, checking at 18 minutes by inserting a toothpick into the center of a muffin. If it comes out clean or with a few moist crumbs, the muffins are done.
  7. Let the muffins cool in the pan for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

[‘Do not overmix the batter to keep muffins light and tender.’, ‘Use room temperature eggs for better mixing and rise.’, ‘Fresh lemon zest and juice provide the best bright flavor.’, ‘If muffins brown too fast, lower oven temperature or cover loosely with foil halfway through baking.’, ‘Letting batter rest 5-10 minutes before baking can improve fluffiness.’, ‘Grease or line muffin tin to prevent sticking.’, ‘For gluten-free version, substitute all-purpose flour with a gluten-free flour blend.’, ‘For vegan version, replace eggs with flax eggs and use plant-based yogurt and oil.’]
