  • 2 1/2 tbsp lemon juice
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 3 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 tbsp baking powder
  • 1/2 tsp baking soda
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1 cup vanilla Greek Yogurt
  • 1/2 cup sour cream
  • 1 tbsp poppy seeds
  • 1/2 cup powdered sugar
  • 1 tbsp lemon juice or more if desired

Equipment

  • Oven
  • Mixing Bowl
  • Baking Sheet
  • Wooden Spoon
  • Whisk

Method
 

  1. Preheat your oven to 375 degrees F.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, using a whisk attachment, beat the butter and sugar together until the mixture is light and fluffy.
  3. Next, add one egg at a time to the mixture, making sure to scrape down the sides of the bowl. Add the lemon zest, 2 1/2 tbsp lemon juice, and vanilla extract, and continue beating until the mixture is smooth and creamy.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
  5. Now, alternately add the flour mixture, Greek yogurt, and sour cream to the wet ingredients. Be careful not to over mix!
  6. Fold in the poppy seeds, stirring gently to evenly incorporate them throughout the batter.
  7. Divide the batter evenly among lined muffin cups, filling each cup about two-thirds full.
  8. Bake for 20 to 25 minutes or until the tops are lightly golden brown.
  9. Once baked, remove the muffins from the oven and allow them to cool on a wire rack.
  10. Make the glaze by combining the powdered sugar and lemon juice in a small bowl. Whisk until smooth and brush on top of each muffin.
