To make 12 Lemon Poppy Seed Muffins, you will need the following ingredients:

- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 tablespoon poppy seeds
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted and cooled
- 1 cup buttermilk
- 2 large eggs
- 1 tablespoon lemon zest
- 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice

To start, preheat your oven to 375°F and line a muffin tin with paper liners. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and poppy seeds. In a separate bowl, whisk together the melted butter, buttermilk, eggs, lemon zest, and lemon juice.
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Be careful not to overmix the batter, as this can result in tough muffins. Spoon the batter into the prepared muffin tin, filling each cup about 2/3 full.
Bake the muffins for 18-20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean. Allow the muffins to cool in the tin for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
These Lemon Poppy Seed Muffins are a perfect combination of sweet and tangy flavors, with a light and fluffy texture. They are a great option for breakfast on-the-go or as a mid-day snack. Serve them warm with a dollop of butter or jam for an extra treat.
