Equipment

  • Muffin tin
  • Whisk
  • Mixing bowls
  • Paper liners
  • Toothpick or cake tester

Ingredients

  • 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
  • ¾ cup sugar
  • 1 ½ teaspoons baking powder
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • 1 tablespoon poppy seeds
  • Zest of 1 lemon
  • 2 tablespoons lemon juice
  • 2 large eggs
  • ½ cup buttermilk
  • ⅓ cup vegetable oil

Instructions

  • Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a muffin tin with paper liners. Spray the liners lightly to prevent sticking.
  • In a bowl, whisk flour, sugar, baking powder, salt, and poppy seeds. Make sure everything is evenly mixed.
  • In another bowl, whisk lemon zest, juice, eggs, buttermilk, and oil until smooth. The zest smells amazing. Whisk to avoid lumps.
  • Pour the wet mix into the dry ingredients. Stir gently until just combined. A lumpy batter is fine—it’s okay!
  • Divide the batter into muffin cups, filling them two-thirds full. Bake for 18-20 minutes. Check with a toothpick—it should come out clean.
