Time 35m

Number Of Ingredients 16

Muffins
2 cups all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons baking powder
1/4 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
2 tablespoons poppy seeds
1 stick (1/2 cup unsalted butter, at room temperature)
1 cup sugar
2 eggs
Zest of 1 lemon (about 1 tablespoon)
2 teaspoons fresh-squeezed lemon juice
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 cup plain Greek yogurt
Glaze
1 cup powdered sugar
2 tablespoons fresh-squeezed lemon juice

Steps:

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Place cupcake liners in a standard-sized muffin tin and set aside.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, poppy seeds, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
In a large bowl or the bowl of a stand mixer, beat together the butter and sugar on medium-high for about three minutes, until pale yellow, light, and fluffy.
Beat in the eggs one at a time. Add the vanilla, lemon juice, and the lemon zest.
With the mixer on low speed, add the flour and the yogurt in two additions, alternating between the two, just until all ingredients are incorporated.
Divide the batter between the muffin liners.
Bake about 17 - 20 minutes until a toothpick or cake tester inserted into the center of one of the muffins comes out clean.
Let cool for about five minutes, then move the muffins to wire rack.
Make the glaze. Whisk together the powdered sugar and the lemon juice and drizzle over the muffins while still warm.
Let cool until the glaze is well-set. Serve.
