Step-by-step
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (205 degrees C). Lightly grease a muffin tin.
- Combine the flour, 3/4 cup white sugar, poppy seeds, baking powder, baking soda and salt.
- In a separate bowl mix the eggs, yogurt, vegetable oil and lemon zest. Blend well and pour over the flour mixture. Mix until just combined. Do no overmix!
- Spoon batter evenly between the prepared muffin cups. Bake at 400 degrees F (205 degrees C) for 20 minutes.
- Combine the lemon juice with the remaining 3 tablespoons white sugar. Stir into sugar dissolves.
- Once the muffins are baked pierce the tops several times with a toothpick. Slowly pour about 1 tablespoon of the lemon juice and sugar mixture over the tops of each muffin. Let muffins cool in pans for 10 minutes before removing them from the tin.

Tips for making the perfect Lemon Poppy Seed Muffins:
- Be sure to use fresh lemon zest. The zest is what gives the muffins their bright, citrusy flavor, so don't skip it!
- Don't overmix the batter. Overmixing will make the muffins tough. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
- Bake the muffins until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Overbaking will make the muffins dry.
- Let the muffins cool in the pan for 10 minutes before removing them to a wire rack. This will help them to set and prevent them from crumbling.
Enjoy these delicious and nutritious Lemon Poppy Seed Muffins for breakfast, lunch, or a snack. They're sure to become a family favorite!
