LEMON BLUEBERRY POPPY SEED MUFFINS



Lemon Blueberry Poppy Seed Muffins image

These muffins are everything a lemon-blueberry-poppy-seed muffin should be. They have a little bite to them, but are still light and fluffy. This recipe is easily halved to make six muffins-- which I prefer, as muffins are best fresh and I can't get through a full batch of twelve by myself. I like a lot of poppy seeds in my muffins. If you don't, I would recommend cutting the amount down to 1 tablespoon. If you like a sweeter muffin, it's okay to up the sugar by 1/3 cup. If you're trying to go the other direction and get them less sweet, I would proceed cautiously, as I have already cut back from the amount of sugar the base recipe used. However, if you do reduce the sugar further, please post your results in the comments! You don't have to use Greek yogurt-- regular or low-fat yogurt will work, or even sour cream if you want to be a little more decadent.

  • In a separate bowl mix the eggs, yogurt, vegetable oil and lemon zest. Blend well and pour over the flour mixture. Mix until just combined. Do no overmix!
  • Spoon batter evenly between the prepared muffin cups. Bake at 400 degrees F (205 degrees C) for 20 minutes.
  • Combine the lemon juice with the remaining 3 tablespoons white sugar. Stir into sugar dissolves.
  • Once the muffins are baked pierce the tops several times with a toothpick. Slowly pour about 1 tablespoon of the lemon juice and sugar mixture over the tops of each muffin. Let muffins cool in pans for 10 minutes before removing them from the tin.
