Ingredients
  

For the Muffins:

1 ½ cups all-purpose flour

½ cup granulated sugar

1 tablespoon poppy seeds

2 teaspoons baking powder

½ teaspoon baking soda

¼ teaspoon salt

1 large egg

¾ cup plain yogurt (Greek or regular)

⅓ cup vegetable oil

2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice

Zest of 1 large lemon (about 1 tablespoon)

For the Yogurt Glaze:

½ cup powdered sugar

2 tablespoons plain yogurt

1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice

1 teaspoon lemon zest

Instructions
 

Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a muffin tin or line it with paper liners.

    Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, poppy seeds, baking powder, baking soda, and salt until well combined.

      Combine Wet Ingredients: In another bowl, whisk together the egg, yogurt, vegetable oil, lemon juice, and lemon zest until smooth and well blended.

        Combine Mixtures: Gently fold the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients using a spatula. Mix until just combined; be careful not to overmix—the batter should be slightly lumpy.

          Fill the Muffin Tin: Divide the muffin batter evenly among the 12 muffin cups, filling each about 2/3 full.

            Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

              Cool: Let the muffins cool in the pan for about 5 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.

                Prepare Yogurt Glaze: While the muffins are cooling, prepare the glaze by whisking together powdered sugar, yogurt, lemon juice, and lemon zest in a small bowl until smooth.

                  Glaze the Muffins: Once the muffins are completely cooled, drizzle the yogurt glaze over the tops of each muffin using a spoon or a piping bag for more precision.

                    Serve and Enjoy: Allow the glaze to set for a few minutes before serving. Enjoy your delightful lemon poppy seed muffins with a refreshing kick!
