Ingredients

Lemon Poppyseed Muffins

  • 180 grams (1 1/2 cups) flour
  • 1 tbsp baking powder
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 2 tbsp poppyseeds
  • 4 oz (1/2 cup) unsalted butter, softened
  • 198 grams (1 cup) sugar
  • 2 tbsp lemon zest
  • 2 eggs
  • 2 tbsp lemon juice
  • 113 grams (1/2 cup) sour cream or plain greek yogurt

Instructions

Lemon Poppyseed Muffins

  1. In a medium bowl whisk together the flour, baking powder, salt, and poppyseeds and set aside.
  2. In a stand mixer fitted with a paddle attachment, combine the butter, sugar, and lemon zest for 2-3 minutes on medium speed until light and fluffy.
  3. Add eggs, one at a time, scraping down the sides of the bowl with your spatula as needed.
  4. Add in the lemon juice and sour cream. Scrape down the sides of the bowl.
  5. With the mixer on low, add in the flour mixture and mix just until combined.
  6. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and chill for at least 3 hours, but preferably overnight. This allows the batter to rest and gives the muffins their beautiful domed tops.
  7. Preheat oven to 425º F.
  8. Prep a muffin pan with 10 muffin liners and divide the batter evenly, doing your best to keep it as close to the middle of each liner as possible.
  9. Bake the muffins for 5 minutes and then lower the oven to 350º F, without opening it, and bake for another 12-13 minutes until a toothpick or knife inserted into the center comes out clean.
  10. Cool for 5-10 minutes before removing from the pan and cooling on a cooling rack. Enjoy!

Notes

  • You'll need about 3-4 lemons total in order to have enough zest and juice.
  • These muffins can be placed in an airtight container and kept at room temperature for up to five days. They are best enjoyed slightly warmed in the microwave.
