Lemon. Refreshing and deliciously tart especially on a hot day. Our nights have been consumed with baseball practice and baseball games between the two boys. Therefore, I’ve been trying out new recipes that are easy to pack on the way to the ball park. These lemon poppy seed muffins do not disappoint. Made with ingredients I have on hand, they can be whipped together with no plan in place. That’s how we’re rolling this busy spring.
The crumbly topping combined with the tartness of the lemon, make these a delicious treat. Are you ready to dig into some lemon poppy seed muffins?
First, combine all the dry ingredients together.
Add in the lemon extract, vegetable oil and yogurt. Do not over mix – but mix just enough so that the batter is wet.
In a separate bowl, combine 1/2 cup flour, 1/2 cup sugar, and 2 tablespoons of melted butter. Mix together with your hands until crumbly.
Grab this muffin scoop if you don’t have one. It makes making muffins much less messy. Scoop the batter into a lined muffin tin. If you like bakery style muffins you’ll want to use a jumbo muffin tin, otherwise a regular muffin tin will work out just as well. This recipe makes 6 jumbo muffins or 12 regular ones.
Sprinkle your crumble topping onto each muffin before baking. Bake at 350 degrees for 25 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean. Cool slightly before removing from the muffin tin. And enjoy!

Good but not much Lemony flavor. Was hoping to some sour taste, no sour taste at all.
we enjoyed them a lot, will make some changed to get more Lemony and sour taste.
