We've all had a Lemon Poppy Seed Muffin. They are sold everywhere. But making them at home is so quick and easy that you will never purchase a store bought muffin again, I promise.

Adding Lemon Zest to the muffin batter makes a world of difference. The tart zesty flavor that it adds is ah-ma-zing and when paired with the tart lemon glaze you will love love this recipe.

I love how simple this recipe is to throw together. It's a great recipe to make with the kids and help them become more familiar in the kitchen. It's very forgiving and you will have beautiful and delicious Lemon Muffins.

How to make Zucchini Muffins

This is a nice small from scratch recipe. By that I mean it will make 6 Jumbo Muffins, 12 Regular-sized muffins, or about 24 mini muffins. One pan to bake and you are done. Of course, you can double this batch with no problem.

Muffin Tin Size	Baking Times
Mini Muffins	9-12 Minutes
Regular Muffins	15-18 Minutes
Jumbo Muffins	20-24 Minutes

Baking times vary depending on size of muffin pans used but the temperature will all stay the same. Make sure to Preheat Oven to 375 degrees. Fill muffin tins ½ way full.

Step 1: In a large bowl combine dry ingredients (All-Purpose Flour, Sugar, Baking Powder, Poppy Seeds, and Lemon Zest) and mix together with a spoon.

Step 2: Make a well in the center of the dry ingredients and add Egg, Milk, Vegetable Oil, and Lemon Juice.

Step 3: Use a Fork or Spoon and mix wet ingredients into dry ingredients just until combined. Do not over-mix.

Step 4: Spray Muffin Tins with Cooking Spray or use Paper Baking Liner and fill ½ way full

Step 5: Bake for allotted time. Allow Muffins to cool before serving.

Step 6: (Optional Glaze) In a bowl combine 1 ½ cups Powdered Sugar, 2 Tbls Lemon Juice, and 1 Tbl Lemon Zest.

Step 7: Drizzle Glaze over warm muffins
