Lemon Poppy Seed Muffins

The kids wanted a treat for breakfast this morning so we decided to make these lemon poppy seed muffins I found at Brown Eyed Baker. They were super simple to make and smelled delicious while they were baking. My kids absolutely loved these muffins and devoured several for breakfast.

How to Make Lemon Poppy Seed Muffins

Rub the sugar with the chopped lemon zest together in a bowl with your fingertips until the sugar is moist and the lemon fragrance strong. Mix the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt together until well combined.

Beat the sour cream, lemon juice, eggs, vanilla extract, softened butter, and lemon sugar together in a bowl with a mixer until creamy and smooth. Slowly combine the flour mixture with the sour cream mixture. Add the poppy seeds and mix well.

Scoop the batter evenly into the muffin cups in the tray.
