Pin ItI love making muffins because they are easy to make, easy to share, freeze well, and are SO delicious! A few of my favorite muffin recipes include: blueberry muffins, raspberry muffins, banana muffins, and chocolate chip muffins.
I also LOVE these Lemon Poppy Seed Muffins. The muffins are light, tender, sweet, and bursting with lemon flavor. The poppy seeds add a slight little crunch, that is delightful.
The muffins are made with fresh lemon juice, lemon zest, and lemon extract for maximum lemon flavor. The muffins also get drizzled with a sweet lemon glaze that enhances the lemon flavor.
Lemon poppy seed muffins are a classic muffin and can be made year-round, but I especially love them in the spring and summer. Enjoy for breakfast, brunch, a sweet snack, or even dessert.
Table of Contents
Muffin Ingredients
- All-purpose flour– spooned and leveled.
- Poppy seeds– look for poppy seeds in the spice aisle.
- Baking powder & Baking soda– check the expiration dates. I like to replace my baking powder and baking soda every 6 months.
- Salt– use kosher salt.
- Granulated sugar– to sweeten the muffins.
- Lemon zest– use a microplane to zest the lemons.
- Unsalted Butter– melted and cooled to room temperature.
- Buttermilk– at room temperature.
- Sour cream– use full fat! You can also use whole milk plain Greek yogurt.
- Eggs– at room temperature.
- Oil– you can use avocado, canola, or vegetable oil.
- Fresh lemon juice– Use a lemon squeezer!
- Lemon extract– look for it in the baking aisle next to the vanilla extract and other extracts.
- Vanilla extract– always use pure vanilla extract.
Lemon Glaze Ingredients
Finishing the muffins with a lemon glaze brings out the best lemon flavor. Don’t skip it! You only need a two ingredients.
- Confectioner’s sugar
- Fresh lemon juice
How to Make Lemon Poppy Seed Muffins
Scroll down for the full recipe with ingredients and instructions.
- In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, poppy seeds, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.
- In a small bowl, combine the sugar and lemon zest. Rub together with your fingers until fragrant.
- Add the sugar mixture to the dry ingredients and whisk until combined.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the melted butter, buttermilk, Greek yogurt (or sour cream), eggs, oil, lemon juice, lemon extract, and vanilla extract.
- Pour the liquid ingredients over the dry ingredients and use a spatula to stir to combine. Do not over mix. You want there to be a few flour streaks left.
- Cover the bowl with a clean dish towel and let the batter sit at room temperature for 30 minutes. Resting the batter will make them rise in the oven. If you don’t have time, they will still be good, but I recommend resting the batter:)
- While the batter is resting, preheat the oven to 425 degrees F. Line 2 muffin pans with paper liners, leaving a space in between every cup. This will help the muffins rise higher in the oven. Spray the liners with nonstick cooking spray.
- Divide the muffin batter evenly among the muffin cups, filling to the top. I like to use a large ice cream scoop.
- Bake the muffins on the center rack for 6 minutes at 425 degrees, then turn the oven down to 350 degrees. Do not open the oven door. Bake for an additional 10 to 14 minutes or until the muffin tops are golden and the tops are set. You can insert a toothpick into the center of a muffin and if it comes out clean, they are done. Don’t over bake.
- While the muffins are cooling, make the lemon glaze. In a small bowl, whisk together the confectioner’s sugar and lemon juice.
- Drizzle the glaze over the cooled muffins. Serve!
Recipe Tips
- To achieve the best lemon flavor, use lemon zest, lemon juice, and lemon extract in the muffin batter.
- Rubbing the granulated sugar and lemon zest together with your fingers will release the lemon oils and add extra lemon flavor.
- Make sure you all of your liquid ingredients are at room temperature.
- Don’t over mix your muffin batter. It’s ok if there are a few flour streaks left.
- Allow the muffin batter to rest for 30 minutes. Resting will make the muffins more moist, tender, and taller.
- Fill every other muffin cup so the muffins can properly rise and dome, creating beautiful muffin tops.
- Start baking the muffins at a high temperature (425 degrees F) and then reduce to 350 degrees F. The initial high temperature helps the muffins rise quickly, creating tall, domed muffins with a slightly crusty top. Reducing the temperature will ensure the muffins don’t overcook or burn. The insides will be moist, tender, and soft.
- Let the muffins cool completely before adding the lemon glaze.
How to Store & Freeze
- Storing on the Counter– Let the muffins cool completely. Place a paper towel in the bottom of an airtight container. Arrange the muffins in a single layer in the container. Close the lid and store on the counter for up to 4 days. You can reheat the muffins in the microwave for 10-15 seconds, if desired.
- How to Freeze the Muffins: Let the muffins cool completely. Place the muffins in a freezer container or freezer bag, in a single layer. Freeze for up to 2 months. Thaw at room temperature.

Anything with fresh lemon is a winner in my book. These seriously are just what I need during these cold, cold days. I’ll bet that icing is incredible, too!
Mmmm, these do look like perfection! I love that book too. I might just have to whip up a batch this morning!
These muffins look and sound amazing!
Lovely lemon muffin!!
I love poppy seed muffins – they look so delicate! Great recipe.
Just looking at these gorgeous photos brightened my day!
These look so amazing — light, citrusy, and delicious! I would love waking up to these. ๐
These will most definitely brighten my day! Perfect for a weekend breakfast!
Love the bright lemon flavor in this! Lemon poppyseed is a lovely muffin flavor!! I don’t see it too often for some reason..I know they exist but maybe it’s cause people snatch it up too quickly ๐
I ADORE that cookbook and actually just posted a different muffin recipe from it this week. Great minds ๐ I’m definitely going to need to try the lemon poppyseed next. These look like a bite of sunshine in the dead of winter.
fsajkhejrsdkjfh lemon poppyseed is my favorite ever. Seriously. Whoever invented that combination was an absolute genius. But these look super light and tasty! I’m going to argue that because they look light, I can have more..right?
I freaking love lemon muffins!! Yum!
I’m so into your muffin phase right now!!
Lovely muffins!!! I make an orange poppyseed muffin that is yummy too!
These muffins are a perfect way to brighten up a dreary, winter day!
I could snack on these all day long! I just love lemon poppy seed muffins!
I love love love lemon baked goods! And I don’t know what poppy seeds do to a muffin, but they just taste awesome!
I can practically feel summer through these lemon poppyseed muffins.
I hear ya. I’ve been craving carbs all day every day lately. I blame the cold weather, and take no responsibility for wanting all the muffins.
I can’t stop looking at that close up picture of the muffin in the pan – BEAUTIFUL!
oh! boy howdy, those look good. i’m normally not a lemon person, but lemon poppyseed muffins are (one of) my kryptonite(s)!
Beautiful muffins! We had an abundance of lemons this year from our lemon tree so I definitely need to try these!
Gorgeous muffins, I love anything lemon poppy seed!
These would be the perfect breakfast or snack. Love the fresh and bright flavors!
I love all things lemon, and these look wonderful. I am pinning them right now to share with my readers!
Yum!! I am making these now (even the batter is yummy!!). But here’s my question and please know that I am not an expert and maybe I missed this. But we mix the lemon juice/jest and sugar, and then following the recipe it mentions sour cream, vanilla, eggs etc and lemon juice again but in the directions I don’t see lemon juice as another ingredient until the icing. What am I missing or do I not understand??
I had the same question ๐ i just added more lemon juiceย
I could eat these at every meal! Yum yum yum!
Lemon poppy seed are always my favorite!
So pretty, bright & springlike!
Making them right NOW!! Yummy xo
@Donna Howard โ Lmon zest and juice are two different things, lemon zest is the scraped outside of the lemon.. like thin peels.. but juice is well the juice. hope that helps =)
Great recipe! I could eat these for breakfast, lunch, and dinner too.
oh dear! I read the recipe too fast and when it said add the sugar and lemon zest I of course read that as add the sugar, lemon zest and lemon juice! Thus I was wondering what the reference to the lemon juice was. I got it!! They were delsh by the way~~ thank you
I made this recipe and it turned out great!! Thank you for sharing. ๐
You can see a photo of the results on my blog: http://darwinscreations.wordpress.com/ !
Thanks again!

I made these last night, they turned out good but I am curious, the batter by itself was not that good, taste wise, with the icing these are over the top lemony which is great but I am wondering is the batter supposed to be “good” too? Stupid question I am sure, i used sour cream, my lemons had been on the counter for over a week so not sure if those were factors and I never did understand what “don’t overmix” looked like, is it possible i mixed them too much, will that affect the taste?
I am not giving up though i will make these again and maybe try using the greek yogurt instead.
On the whole though these were good….I mean who doesn’t read a recipe with fresh lemons as part of the ingredients and start to drool.
Happy cooking!!
Cory
Also the muffins themselves seemed to be overly dry.
Any and all ideas/help are greatly appreciated.
๐
Hmmm, our muffins are never dry. They are quite moist due to the sour cream/yogurt. Sorry you had trouble!
Hi. Thanks for the reply, after talking to my husband last night this is what i have decided:
*I will definietly make these muffins again i believe they are a keeper
*I am not familiar with baking things that contain sour cream and i believe i was expecting something more “sweet”, realizing that i think that the taste of the muffins was extrordinary.
*I think i may have used too much flour in the recipe but i also am new to making muffins….that being said i think they may have been spot on.
Thanks for posting this recipe and your reply to my comments, appreciate ya.
Made them this morning…..delicious!
I made these last night, and my husband & I loved them! Thanks for another great recipe!
How do you get the tops of the muffins to be rounded like that? Mine come out sort of mushroom shape (wider at top than bottom of the muffin).
looking at them in the pan, you can see the batter didn’t spill over onto the tin pan. I may be putting too much batter into the molds.
i am reading your lovely recipe in Scotland, UK can you tell me how much is a “stick” of butter?
Many thanks
J
A stick is one quarter pound, or 4 ounces, or 112 grams.
When making muffins like the lemon poppyseed you say using all-purpose flour what would happen if I used sprouted wheat?
Oooh, that must be the most delicious batter I ever made! I think it’s the yoghurt instead of the usual milk (I say usual, but I only made cupcakes once before, and they weren’t lemon and poppy seed ones). I can’t wait to taste the actual cupcakes.
…of course I forgot to add vanilla, to make icing with icing sugar, to reduce temperature for the fan oven and to wait for them to cool before icing. But they still came out delicious like the batter promised! Will definitely make them again:)
I found these to be a touch dry. I used a small lemon, next time I’ll either use a large lemon or two small lemons in the batter. I think I may also add a tablespoon of oil and hopefully they won’t be so dry. Fun recipe though!
I was wondering if you are supposed to put the lemon icing on right after they are done cooling or right before you serve them??
Awesome recipe…..thank you sooo much for sharing. Made them this morning. Came out soft & moist on the inside with a nice light brown crust on the top. Perfect Easter treat.
So glad you liked them! Happy Easter!
I made two batches of these as they were so delicious. I posted about it on my blog and linked to your recipe if that’s ok? Even though I changed the glaze to a syrup. Thankyou for the delicious recipe!
lemonisious
yeah boiiii
What’s a sick of butter? How much does it weigh?
shoosh im trying to sleep
shoosh im trying to sleep okay okay
I have just baked them and they came out perfect!! I am always looking for recipes with poppy seeds! But I used limes instead. Lemon is quite expensive in Brazil and not so easy to find! They are delicious and beautiful!!
I made these muffins and found them to be a little doughy and not easy to scoop or pour into my tins. I ended up having to add a splash of (whole) milk. Did anybody else have this problem? Did you have an alternative solution? Overall a great recipe, lemon poppy seed is always a winning combination!
These turned out great! Thanks for the recipe!
Oh so yummy
I made these muffins yesterday and they are incredible!!! The prep time took me longer than 10 minutes, but they were well with it. Maybe I’ll get faster with my lemon zesting and juicing next time. The muffins were very tender, moist, and lemony!!!
The texture was very nice, but I didn’t care for the flavor. I like my muffins quite a bit sweeter and I could almost taste the baking powder. I also disliked the icing…maybe just too sour from the lemon for me. I think I’ll keep looking for a favorite lemon poppy seed muffin recipe.
Do you think these would be OK with whole wheat flour?
Just made these, and they were incredible! Thanks so much for the recipe! Once I got finished mixing everything together it seemed a little too thick, so I added about a tablespoon more of sour cream and a splash of milk and it was perfect. The glaze was awesome too. I added a little honey too it and it all turned out amazing. Thanks again!
Tried these not much of a lemon flavor thought they tasted like a baking powder biscuit with lemon glaze.
I made these using my mini muffin pan. First batch- Oven at 375 and baked for 12 min. Bottoms and edges were slightly darker than I wanted. Final batches- Oven at 350 and 11minute bake time. Beautiful color with no brown. Delicious. May or may not do the icing I am not sure. Thanks for the recipe! ((36 mini muffins))
Oh, and I used a large lemon. I think a small lemon would not have produced enough of a lemon flavor for my taste. (The recipe doesn’t specify lemon size..) thanks again.
These are actually amazing!! I’m new to baking healthier versions of muffins and i really loved them! They’re so easy to make also. A family member even asked me to bake her a whole batch after trying them.
You have amazing recipes. Thank you !!
Perfect – just made a batch for my co-workers (had to try one first). The taste is great and it was a quick and easy recipe with ingredients that you normally have on hand.
Thanks – will definitely be making again.
Do you think I could substitute coconut oil for all or part of the butter? Thanks!
I accidentally added half of the lemon juice to the sugar, should I start over? Or make that part of the wet ingredients?
I made this muffin for our New Hampshire Dietetic Association conference and it was a big hit! Everyone loved it and was asking for the recipe! I cannot wait to make this muffin again!
I was wandering how many grams is in you 1 stuck of butter . In America I think it’s 113 but in the UK it is 250 . Which one is it ??????
I made these with blueberries instead of poppy seeds and they are so delicious!!! (I have made them with poppy seeds in the past)
Thank you for the recipe!
I had a blond moment! I over looked the butter required by the recipe and left it out. By the time I realized, the muffins were already baked! Do you think it will make a huge difference or should I remake them?
I’ve never made them without butter. Did you try them? Were they good?
… love this website and all the recipes. Question about 400 degrees though.
I just made this (using yogurt option) and I baked them at 400 for 18 minutes, they burnt. The whole outside is burnt. I never bake muffins at 400 and was hesitant from the start. Any body else experience this? Did I do something identifiably incorrect?
Great recipe! I posted it to Facebook. Big problem though. There’s no easy way to print this recipe. When I printed it to my air printer from iPad, sheesh it printed out 24 color pages. Not happy with that. Perhaps you could add a print command to this page.
If you click the print icon on the recipe a printer friendly version will pop up! Glad you liked the recipe!
These are SO delicious! ย I love muffins of just about any kind, but not my husband. ย However, he did love these! ย Making them for the second time in a week. ย Thank you for sharing!!
Just made a batch and they came out perfectly. I used low fat yogurt and a shot of Limoncello liqueur (I didn’t have enough lemon juice is the excuse I’m going with).
I didn’t go with the glaze this time though. My carb conscience wasn’t ready for that. They look and taste great. Thanks so much for posting this recipe.
You are welcome!
Just made a dozen of these this afternoon. They are awesome. Substituted almond extract for the vanilla.
Glad you liked them!
The batter was way too dry as written. I checked and rechecked that I added everything listed and the batter was as dry as biscuit dough. I ended up adding about 1/2-3/4 cup of milk to get to the right consistency. Did anyone else have this problem?
Made these today and while I like the simplicity of the recipe (and love the Greek yogurt factor), half my pan way over cooked rendering them dry and not very edible. I was skeptical about the 400 degree oven temp, but followed the recipe exactly anyway and baked for 17 minutes. Should’ve listened to my gut. Will try again as I like the recipe, but will cut the oven temp down to 350 or 375 to see if that helps.ย
Great recipe! ย These muffins were/are fabulous, and work great even without the icing ๐
Just made this recipe and I found the directions were confusing. ย I did manage to finally get it all together, with a lot of whisking. ย Should taste okay, the batter tasted good.
Best muffins I’ve ever made, not even exaggerating.
Flavourful muffins. The outside came out crispy, while the inside was moist, chewy, and dense (probably due to the sour cream). I would use this recipe again when I have sour cream to use up, but make a few modifications. First, as some others have suggested, the baking temperature is too high, resulting in the crisp exterior and chewy interior. That’s not a bad thing, but can be if you prefer a consistent texture throughout. I would lower the temperature to 350ยฐ or 375ยฐ and extend the baking time. Second, echoing a few other comments, the batter as written is very dry. Someone said it reminded them of biscuit dough, and I agree (it reminded me of scones, though I guess that’s what Americans call biscuits?). Like the others, I had to add liquid to be able to mix the batter; even so, I had to knead it like dough. I used lemon juice to add flavour and thin out the batter, but milk would be good as well. Upon scooping the thick mixture into the muffin cups, I was not sure it would fill up and bake as normal muffins or come out like scones (hint: they did fill up, but came out small). All in all, a good recipe flavour-wise, but could use a few improvements texture-wise!
Loved them!!
Yay!
Have made these a few times with 2 amendments; salted instead of unsalted butter and I like to add white chocolate chips. Apart from that I follow the recipe exactly how it’s written and they have turned out perfectly every time.
Delicious! ย I did increase the lemon just a bit and decreased the poppy seeds (just personal preference) but the recipe is a keeper!
Great recipe. Just because I want to use less sugar, I did half in the recipe. I also didn’t frost the muffins. My whole family loved them. I accidentally cooked a bit too long because my timer never started. We all loved the crunchy edge part of the muffin. I had frozen fresh lemon juice and only fresh limes. I used the lemon juice and the lime zest!
I made these muffins today – they are very delicious. This is a great recipe!
Can you let me know roughly how much juice you’re getting from your lemon? I have very generous Eureka lemons and can get wildly different amounts of juice from other people so I prefer to measure out the juice when possible! Thanks!
About 2 tablespoons.
These were delicious (even though I forgot to add the lemon juice in the batter) and the texture was amazing! One of the best muffins Iโve ever made.
These are delicious. My mom is getting the recipe now.
For me, this recipe was missing moisture. I had to add ~1 cup of milk to make the batter more maleable. Then the muffins came out great.
What is cornstarch? In the UK we have corn flour – could I use this instead?
Hi M, it’s the same thing.
I made two batches of these simultaneously — one half-batch modified to be vegan and one full batch exactly according to the recipe above — and although both batters were delicious, once out of the oven the “regular”-recipe muffins were overly floury/baking-powdery to the point of being inedible. I notice that many of the reviewers above commented on the dryness of the dough, which was a problem I had as well, and remedied by adding a quarter cup of applesauce to each batch. The vegan version (mashed banana instead of egg, coconut milk instead of sour cream, and coconut oil instead of butter) was far superior to the regular recipe, but still more floury or baking-powdery than lemony. I did use Bob’s Red Mill 1-1 gluten-free flour instead of APF in both, but I bake muffins and cupcakes constantly, and always make that substitution — I’ve never once been able to tell the difference. I suspect it’s the 2 tsp of baking powder. Sorry I couldn’t get it to work out!
I made these and they came out perfect. They were delicious. This recipe is definitely a keeper.
Good recipe but do agree the batter is dry. Next time I will add either applesauce or milk for more moisture and juice of one more lemon or lemon extract to make it more lemony.
This recipe was incredibly dense almost to the point of being gummy. My boyfriend is playing with the middle and it is like a playdo. I did let it cool!
I added some milk because of how dense the batter was as some in the comments had suggested. I think the ratios are completely off and I am honestly disappointed.
I did appreciate the tip of of rubbing the zest with the sugar, that was delicious.
Mmmm! Followed the recipe exactly, LOL except I forgot to mix in the poppyseeds. (Sprinkled just a few on top of the glaze). They were still delicious, and will definitely add this to my favourites. Canโt wait to make them again with the poppyseeds.
Is the calorie count for 1 muffin. It doesnโt say the serving size.
Thanks!
Delish! I make these in a double batch and freeze for my kids to have as a snack during the week. Just trying to up the protein, I use about a quarter almond flour. I also sift all the dry ingredients together to aerate. My lemons were large, so maybe thatโs why Iโve found the batter to be a good texture, but Iโve made these several times with no problems, and the end result is pretty fantastic.
Super dry batter – I added about 1/3 c milk. The texture came out okay, but to me the lemon flavor was lacking in the muffins themselves; could only really taste it in the glaze.
Always delicious! We leave off the topping to reduce family sugar intake, and no one seems to mind! These muffins never last more than a day in our house. Thanks for sharing!
This tasted really good although I would have loved to see what the batter should look like and know how much measurement wise of lemon zest and juice needed. Should I have grated more zest and squeezed more juice? Well after tasting my final product I think yes. I also used chia seeds instead of poppy for the health benefits and because I didnโt have poopy and they still came out great. I am really bad at baking which is why I need to see what the batter should look like, but these still came out so good! Thank you!
I used the juice from two lemons as I had two lemons in the fridge that needed to be used – and the recipe came out perfect. My guess is that you need to a) juice your lemons real well to make sure you’re getting ALLLLLL the juice and b) you need a big juicy lemon if you are only using one! This may be why the mileage varies in the comments, but my batch was awesome!
Iโm not sure why these donโt have 5 stars across the board! We make them every time we have company and theyโre always a hit. They are absolutely perfect texture when you bake them until they have a slight browning on top. Also love the simplicity of ingredients.
We are vegan, so I swapped out “flax eggs” for the eggs, Earth Balance for the butter, and Tofutti sour cream for the sour cream….the muffins are awesome…so moist and just perfectly flavored. This will become a regular while our lemons are in season
Yum Yum
Followed the recipe to a tee (only I used my stand mixer to combine everything). They came out perfect. Used my large cookie scoop and spooned two scoops into each muffin cup. Baked exactly 18 minutes and they were AMAZING. My 83 year old palliative father, who is struggling to eat, ate two of them with a cup of tea. Thanks for a Fantastic recipe.
I doubled the recipe and made 30 muffins. Made the glaze but ended up with too much.
Can I freeze the leftover icing for next time – because for sure there is going to be a next time.
Love your recipes, Maria. Followed directions exactly and batter was really thick. Not pourable thick. Any idea what may be the problem?
Hey there! I made these this afternoon and they turned out wonderfully! Fairly “dense” but we like that more than light, fluffy muffins.
Thanks for a winning recipe ๐
Easy and the resulting muffins were great! I might try pastry flour instead of AP next time to see if they come out lighter.
I made this recipe to the letter, sorry to say they came out fairly tasteless. I used fresh zest and lemon juice, heavy , thick batter, it lacked lemon ,sweetness and salt.. I changed the recipe.
My kids have now declared these their favorite muffins, in their words “better than Costco!” A family favorite now.
YAY!
