Ingredients :
- 3 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 3 tablespoons poppy seeds
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon Salt
- 1 1/2 cups plain yogurt
- 2 large eggs
- 1 tablespoon lemon zest
- 8 tablespoons unsalted butter melted and cooled
- For the glaze:
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1/4 cup lemon juice
Directions :
- Adjust oven rack to middle position and heat oven to 375 degrees. Line 2 12-cup muffin tins with paper liners and coat with nonstick spray.
- In a large bowl, whisk together flour, 1 cup sugar, poppy seeds, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
- In a second bowl, whisk together yogurt, eggs, and lemon zest. Fold yogurt mixture into flour mixture with a rubber spatula until just combined. Carefully fold in melted butter.
- Using a greased 1/3-cup dry measuring cup, divide batter evenly among prepared muffin cups. Bake until the tops are golden brown and a toothpick inserted in the center of a muffin comes out clean with a few crumbs attached, about 25 to 30 minutes. Rotate muffin tin halfway through.
- Let muffins cool in muffin tin for 5 minutes, then turn out onto a wire rack and brush with glaze (instructions follow).
