MOIST AND FLUFFY LEMON POPPY SEED MUFFINS



Moist and Fluffy Lemon Poppy Seed Muffins image

Taken from 'The Canadian Baker' Blog. Absolutely the best texture I've ever had. Moist, fluffy, and light. Adaptable for blueberry lemon muffins, raspberry orange etc. I will add more lemon juice next time as I found it not zesty enough, and will cut back on the poppy seeds slightly. A simple lemon glaze makes this the perfect sweet treat for a cold day or an after lunch dessert.

Number Of Ingredients 11

2 cups all-purpose flour
3/4 cup sugar

1 cup buttermilk
2 eggs
1/4 cup vegetable oil

1/3 cup fresh squeezed lemon juice (I prefer 1/2 cup for more zing)

Tips:

  • Use fresh and high-quality ingredients. This will make a significant difference in the taste of your muffins.
  • Make sure your baking powder and baking soda are fresh. Old baking powder and baking soda can result in flat or dense muffins.
  • Don't overmix the batter. Overmixing can make the muffins tough.
  • Fill the muffin cups only 2/3 full. This will allow the muffins to rise properly.
  • Bake the muffins until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Overbaking can make the muffins dry.
  • Let the muffins cool in the pan for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely. This will help to prevent the muffins from breaking.
