Lemon-Poppy Seed Muffins image

This is a classic muffin, and one of my favorites. I love the crunchy little poppy seeds with the bright citrus flavor--a perfect wake-you-up breakfast muffin.

Time 30m

Yield 8 muffins

Number Of Ingredients 13

1 cup all-purpose flour
1/2 cup sugar, plus more for sprinkling
3/4 teaspoon baking powder
1/4 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon fine sea salt
2 teaspoons poppy seeds
Zest of 1 lemon
1 teaspoon orange zest
1 large egg, beaten
1/4 cup whole milk
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/4 cup vegetable oil or canola oil
Juice of 1 lemon

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Grease eight wells of a muffin tin or line them with paper liners.
  • In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and poppy seeds until combined. Add the lemon zest and orange zest and whisk to combine.
  • In a small bowl, combine the egg, milk, vanilla, and oil. Stir to combine. Add the lemon juice and stir. Add the egg mixture to the flour mixture, stirring to combine.
  • Fill the prepared wells of the muffin tin three-quarters full with the batter. Sprinkle the tops with sugar. Bake for 15 to 20 minutes, rotating the pan after 8 minutes, until the muffins are golden brown on top and spring back when lightly touched in the center.
