Gluten Free Lemon Poppy Seed Muffins
Gluten-Free Lemon Poppy Seed Muffins are moist, fluffy and delicious! They are topped with a drool-worthy lemon glaze!
Ingredients
Ingredients for muffins:
- ⅔ cup sugar
- 2 tablespoons lemon zest
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 2 eggs - at room temperature.
- ½ cup olive oil
- ¼ cup plain Greek yogurt - at room temperature. It doesn't matter what fat percentage you use.
- ⅓ cup milk of choice - at room temperature
- 1 ½ teaspoons vanilla extract
- 2 cups all purpose gluten-free flour - buy a gluten-free flour blend with xanthan gum added. I HIGHLY recommend Bob's Red Mill Gluten Free 1-to-1 Baking Flour! If you're not gluten-free, you can use all purpose flour instead.
- 2 teaspoons gluten free baking powder
- ¼ teaspoon baking soda
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 2 tablespoons poppy seeds
Ingredients for lemon glaze:
- ½ cup powdered sugar - also known as confectioners' sugar and icing sugar. I used Swerve confectioners' sugar for a lower sugar option.
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
- ½ - 2 teaspoons milk of choice
- 1 pinch salt
Instructions
- First, preheat your oven to 350 degrees F. Line a muffin tin with 12 liners. To a large bowl add the sugar, fresh lemon zest, fresh lemon juice, eggs, olive oil, yogurt, milk and vanilla extract. Whisk well.
- Next, add in the flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt. Combine until there is a little flour left to mix in and add in the poppy seeds. Don't overmix the batter.
- Spoon the batter into the liners evenly using a large cookie scoop. Bake at 350 degrees F for 22-26 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted comes out clean.
- Allow the muffins to cool in the muffin tin for 5 minutes. Then, transfer them to a cooling rack to cool completely. While the muffins are cooling, make the lemon glaze. Combine all the ingredients for the glaze until it reaches your desired consistency. Add more or less milk to the icing depending on how thin or thick you like it.
- Once the muffins are completely cooled, drizzle each muffin with a desired amount glaze.
