Muffin Monday – Lemon Poppy Seed Muffins
Welcome to Muffin (and Cupcake) Monday!
I made Lemon Poppy Seed mini-muffins this week. I love the flavor of these muffins and I really like the size of the mini-muffins. Each mouthful is a delicious little bite of yum.
Ingredients:
2 cups all-purpose flour
3/4 cup white sugar
1/4 cup poppy seeds
2 teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
2 eggs
1 cup lemon flavored yogurt
1/4 cup vegetable oil
1 tablespoon grated lemon zest
1/3 cup lemon juice
3 tablespoons white sugar
Directions:
Preheat oven to 400 degrees for regular size muffins and 350 degrees for mini-muffins.
Coat muffin tins with non-stick spray.
In a large bowl combine flour, 3/4 cup white sugar, poppy seeds, baking powder, baking soda and salt.
In a separate bowl, mix the eggs, yogurt, vegetable oil and lemon zest. Blend well and pour into the flour mixture. Stir until just combined, do not overmix.
Spoon batter into the prepared muffin tins. Bake at 400 degrees for 20 minutes for regular size muffins or bake at 350 degrees for about 10 minutes for mini-muffins. Watch for the edges to turn brown and they should be done.
Next, combine the lemon juice with the remaining 3 tablespoons white sugar. Stir into sugar dissolves. After the muffins are baked, pierce the tops several times with a toothpick. Pour about 1 tablespoon of the lemon juice and sugar mixture over the top of the each regular sized muffin and about 1/2 teaspoon over the mini-muffins. Let muffins cool in the muffin tin for about 10 minutes before removing them from the pan. Enjoy!

Thanks Christina! So glad you stopped by!
Popped in from the More the Merrier link-up. Thanks so much for posting this recipe. I’ve been looking for one that didn’t involve a cake or muffin mix forever. Can’t wait to try these with my kids!
You’re quite welcome Jaymie! So glad you stopped by. Hope your kids enjoy them!
I just got a new bottle of poppy seeds from the sale rack at Food Lion. So, I’ll be able to make these soon. They look great. Thanks for sharing on Sweet Indulgences Sunday.
Sounds like it was meant to be Kim!
My step mom used to make these all the time, but she used a package. I love that these are homemade. NUM!
Homemade is almost always best! Thanks for stopping by Kristin!
Yum! Those look much better than the mix I use….ha.
Thanks Susan!
Thank you so much for sharing with Full Plate Thursday and have a great week end!
Come Back Soon,

These muffins look delicious! I’ve been thinking to try a lemon-poppy dessert one of these days. Love that they’re mini- mini muffins are my new favorite thing. Eating one is somehow so much less daunting and so guilt free compared with a full sized muffin!

I love lemon poppyseed muffins, and I love the addition of the yogurt in yours – I bet they are gorgeously moist! Thank you for sharing them with Let’s Do Brunch.
