We love these Bakery Style Lemon Poppy Seed Muffins they are so light and full of flavor.

Easy Lemon Poppy Seed Muffins recipe is perfect for breakfast or brunch from Serena Bakes Simply From Scratch.

4 Days left until spring! I can't wait! In Washington that means warmer weather, hopefully less rain and tulips! I can't wait for our first 60-70 degree day to kick everyone out of the house and work in the yard, my poor garden could use some serious attention.

As I was flipping through Dorie Greenspan's Baking From My Home To Yours yesterday I came across Lemon Poppy Seed Muffins and knew these would be a perfect treat to help kick start spring with the bright lemon flavor and gorgeous little poppy seeds.

After a few taste testings later, Colt and I agreed these are an Easter brunch must! Besides being easy and gorgeous they are absolutely divine!

Here's how to make these easy Lemon Poppy Seed Muffins:


Lemon Zest being mixed with sugar.

Grate the zest off of 1 Lemon and use your fingers to rub the zest into 2/3 cup Granulated Sugar until the sugar smells wonderfully fragrant of the lemon. 

At this point your mind will probably start to wander to all the other wonderful creations that could be made with the sugar... At least mine did..

Lemon Zest sugar mixed with flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt with a whisk in a medium sized stainless steel bowl.

To the sugar add: 
  • 2 cups All-Purpose Flour or Whole Wheat Pastry Flour
  • 2 teaspoons Baking Powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon Baking Soda
  • 1/4 teaspoon Salt 
Mix until thoroughly combined.

Lemon Poppy Seed Muffin batter in a mixing bowl.

In a small bowl combined: 
  • 3/4 cup Plain Greek Yogurt
  • 2 whole Large Eggs
  • 1 teaspoon Vanilla Extract
  • Juice of 1 large Lemon
  • 1/2 cup Melted Butter
Pour butter egg mixture over flour and add the poppy seeds.

Lemon Poppy Seed Muffin batter in a muffin tin.

Stir just until combined. Dough will be pretty thick. 

Divide evenly into a regular-size muffin tin grease with butter.

Lemon being squeezed into powdered sugar.

When muffins are cool stir together: 
  • 1 cup Sifted Powdered Sugar 
  • 1/2 whole Lemon Juiced

Add just enough additional lemon juice to thin icing enough to drizzle from a spoon.
