Yield 12 muffins

Number Of Ingredients 12

2 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 cup granulated sugar
1 1/4 teaspoons baking powder

1/4 teaspoon salt
1 large lemon, zest of, finely grated
1 1/4 cups sour cream (250g)
2 large eggs
5 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
1/4 cup fresh lemon juice

3/4 cup sugar
2 teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt (optional)
3/4 cup fat-free buttermilk
1/4 cup butter, melted
1 -2 tablespoon orange zest (I use zest of one orange)
1 teaspoon vanilla
1 egg, lightly beaten
1 (8 ounce) container reduced-fat sour cream (don't use fat-free, they don't turn out as well)

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 375 and prepare muffin tins.
  • Prepare Struesel - combine all ingredients. Set aside.
  • For the muffins, in a large bowl, combine flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda and salt, if using, until combined. Make a well in the center.
  • In a separate medium bowl, combine buttermilk and remaining muffin ingredients.
  • Pour mixture into well of flour mixture.

  • Spoon batter into muffin cups and sprinkle evenly with poppy seed struesel.
  • Bake for 18-20 minutes until golden brown.

Tips:

  • Use room temperature ingredients. This will help the muffins bake evenly and rise properly.

  • Bake the muffins until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Overbaking can result in dry muffins.
  • Let the muffins cool in the pan for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely. This will help the muffins to keep their shape.
