Lemon Poppy Seed Muffin Recipe

Perfect to give you a zip in your morning, snack in the middle of the day. I love them with a glass of milk and a little pat of butter. If you have a few left over, you can warm them up every morning and eat them warm.  So delicious and one of the guys in the houses favorites for me to make.

Ingredients:

1 1/3 cup flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
2 tablespoons poppy seeds
2 eggs
1 stick softened butter
2/3 cups sugar
Zest from 1 large lemon
juice from 1 large lemon (about 3-4 Tablespoons)
1/2 cup sour cream
1 teaspoon vanilla

Instructions:

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.
Mix the flour, baking powder, baking soda and poppy seeds together and set aside.
Add the butter and sugar and mix and add the eggs
Add the zest, lemon juice, vanilla and sour cream.
Once thoroughly mixed, add the flour mixture a little at a time.
Mix thoroughly.
Add into muffin tin, sprayed with non-stick spray (or use cupcake liners).
Bake for 25-35 minutes until toothpick is clean when you check.

Muffin Tips:

• Instead of 3 Tablespoons, add 1/4 cup (1 Tablespoon more) of lemon juice and more zest for strong lemon flavor
• The butter needs to be soft or it will melt while baking and pool
• Use cupcake liners to reduce mess on your tin
• You can use fresh lemon juice or lemon juice from a bottle, your choice
• Use an ice cream scoop to evenly portion the muffin batter
• Large lemons give more zest and juice.  Use 2 if you have smaller lemons
