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.
Tips:
- To ensure your muffins have a light and fluffy texture, make sure not to overmix the batter. Overmixing can result in dense, tough muffins. - Fill the muffin cups evenly to ensure uniform baking and shape. - For a crispy muffin top, sprinkle some coarse sugar on top of the batter before baking. - If you prefer a sweeter muffin, add an extra 1/4 cup of sugar to the batter. - For a tangier muffin, use freshly squeezed lemon juice instead of bottled lemon juice. - If you don't have poppy seeds on hand, you can substitute an equal amount of chia seeds or flax seeds.
Conclusion:
With its vibrant lemon flavor, crunchy poppy seeds, and tender crumb, this classic lemon poppy seed muffin recipe is a delightful treat that can be enjoyed for breakfast, brunch, or as a snack. The muffins are easy to make and can be dressed up with a simple glaze or frosting if desired.
