How to make lemon poppy seed muffins<\/h2>\n

I LOVE baking muffins because they are so easy to make! It really comes down to three main steps:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Dry Ingredients<\/strong> \u2013 All of the dry ingredients are combined in a large mixing bowl. This includes the flour, baking powder, baking soda, poppy seeds, AND sugar. It may seem a bit backwards to combine the sugar and flour but it\u2019s essential to making fluffy muffins.<\/li>\n
  2. Wet Ingredients<\/strong> \u2013 The rest of the ingredients are combined in a separate bowl. This includes the butter, oil, eggs, sour cream, extracts, lemon zest, lemon juice, and milk.<\/li>\n
  3. Combine<\/strong> \u2013 The wet ingredients are mixed into the dry ingredients to finish out the batter. <\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    The reason why this is done in such few steps is because there is too little sugar to fat, so if these two are combined using the creaming method (mixing the sugar and butter together from the start), the two won\u2019t be able to create an airy and whipped consistency needed to aerate the batter. <\/p>\n

    This is also the main difference between muffins and cupcakes. Cupcakes contain more sugar which allows for this creaming process. So if you find a muffin recipe that calls for the creaming method, it\u2019s likely closer to a cupcake!<\/p>\n

    How to bake tall lemon poppy seed muffins<\/h2>\n

    Ok so here comes the bad news\u2026the batter has to rest for 1 hour before baking. But it\u2019s an hour well worth it!<\/p>\n

    During this resting period, the baking powder goes to work and fluffs up the batter even before it hits the oven. This is because baking powder has a double activation \u2013 once when it comes in contact with liquid and another when it\u2019s heated.<\/p>\n

    This is essentially giving the batter a head start and you will notice that after the hour is up, the batter will turn really light and fluffy. This fluffy batter is what produces a super tall muffin! I use this technique in almost all of my muffin recipes because it works like magic. I go into more detail on my post for chocolate chip muffins<\/a> if you\u2019d like to learn more!<\/p>\n

    Now that the batter is well activated, it\u2019s important to be careful when scooping it into the pan. Simply scoop and plop! Don\u2019t mix the batter or agitate it too much as we don\u2019t want this hour of activation to deflate and go to waste.<\/p>\n

    Another extra insurance to baking really tall muffins is to bake them in alternating cups. To do so, line a cupcake tin with just 6 liners and leave every other cup empty. Leaving tons of space between each muffin allows the oven heat to freely and evenly flow throughout each which creates a taller muffin top.<\/p>\n

    This baking step is optional, but I definitely recommend it if you want to bake beautiful and tall lemon poppy seed muffins!<\/p>\n

    Homemade lemon simple syrup<\/h2>\n

    To bring in even more fresh lemon flavor, these lemon poppy seed muffins are brushed with a homemade lemon simple syrup RIGHT after they\u2019re pulled from the oven.<\/p>\n

    When they\u2019re warm, they\u2019re more porous which allows the syrup to sink into the top layer of these muffins. If you want it to seep down even further, poke the muffins with a toothpick before brushing on the syrup.<\/p>\n

    Lemon simple syrup may sound daunting, but it\u2019s actually very easy to make! All you need is lemons and sugar.<\/p>\n

    First, lemon juice and sugar and heated in a saucepan for about 10 minutes. Just until the sugar is fully dissolved!<\/p>\n

    This hot mixture is then poured over a bowl containing lemon zest peels. These are big chunks of the zest that have been cut from the surface of a lemon with a small paring knife.<\/p>\n

    The heat from the hot syrup helps bring out even more of the flavor in the zest. The two fuse together to create a bright and sweet lemon simple syrup that pairs PERFECTLY with these lemon poppy seed muffins.<\/p>\n

    How long do lemon poppy seed muffins keep?<\/h2>\n

    For BEST flavor and texture consume these the day you make them, especially when they\u2019re still warm. Otherwise, store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator for a couple days.<\/p>\n

    If you need to eat them later, warm in the microwave for about 10 seconds. If you have any leftover syrup, brush some on top before eating!<\/p>\n
