How To Make lemon poppy seed muffins

  • 1
    Preheat oven to 375ºF. Line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners or lightly grease with cooking spray; set aside. In a large bowl, combine flour and salt; whisk. In a medium bowl, combine sugar, milk, butter, poppy seeds, eggs, and lemon zest; whisk until well blended. Pour the wet ingredients in the dry ingredients.

    In a small bowl, combine baking powder and lemon juice, stir then pour in the dry ingredients. Stir until batter is just combined. Divide batter evenly among muffin molds.
  • 3
    Transfer to the preheat oven and bake for 18 minutes or until a cake tester inserted in the center comes out almost clean. Cool 5 minutes before transferring onto a wire rack.

    Note: Combine baking powder with lemon juice helps to make muffins fluffier and rise better.
