Ingredients

• 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 cup granulated sugar
• 2 teaspoons baking powder
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1/4 cup unsalted butter, softened
• 1 large egg
• 1 tablespoon freshly squeezed lemon juice
• 1 teaspoon grated lemon zest
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1/2 cup plain Greek yogurt
• 1 tablespoon poppy seeds

Instructions

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a 7-cup muffin tin with paper liners.

In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt.

Set aside. In a large bowl, whisk together the softened butter, egg, lemon juice, lemon zest, and vanilla extract until well combined.

Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and stir until just combined.

Do not overmix. Stir in the Greek yogurt until smooth.

Gently fold in the poppy seeds.

Divide the batter evenly among the muffin cups. Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the muffins are golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.

Let the muffins cool in the tin for 5 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
