Big Fluffy Lemon Poppy Seed Muffins

Ingredients:
3 cups all-purpose flour
1 cup sugar
1 tablespoon baking powder
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon of salt
1 1/2 cups plain lowfat yogurt
2 large eggs
1/2 cup of butter
3 tablespoons poppy seeds
1 tablespoon grated lemon zest
1 tablespoon lemon juice


Preheat the oven to 375 degrees. Mix the flour sugar, baking powder, baking soda, poppy seeds and salt together in a large bowl. In a medium bowl whisk together the yogurt, eggs, lemon zest and lemon juice. Fold the mixture into the flour mixture. Then fold in the melted butter.

Distribute the mixture evenly among the muffin cups. I used a 1/3 measuring cup. Bake for 25-30 minutes. I have found that if they are slightly undercooked they loose their nice soft, fluffy texture and aren't as good the next day.

Let them cool for 5 minutes and then add the glaze.


For the glaze:
1/4 cup sugar
1/4 cup lemon juice


Heat the glaze mixture for 3 to 4 minutes. Once homogenous brush the warm syrup onto the muffins.
