Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/4 cup poppy seeds
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 1/2 cup granulated erythritol or preferred low-sugar sweetener
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1/2 cup plain Greek yogurt
  • 1/4 cup fresh lemon juice
  • 1 tablespoon lemon zest
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners or grease well.
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, poppy seeds, baking soda, baking powder, and salt. Set this aside.
  3. In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter and the low-sugar sweetener until light and fluffy. You are building the base here.
  4. Beat in the eggs one at a time, making sure each is fully incorporated before adding the next.
  5. Stir in the Greek yogurt, lemon juice, lemon zest, and vanilla extract until just combined.
  6. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients. Mix only until the flour streaks disappear. Do not overmix your batter.
  7. Divide the batter evenly among the 12 muffin cups, filling each about two-thirds full.
  8. Bake for 18 to 20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  9. Let the muffins cool in the tin for five minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

  • For an extra bright flavor, use only fresh lemon juice and zest.
  • You can substitute half of the all-purpose flour with whole wheat flour for added fiber.
  • This recipe focuses on reduced sugar; feel free to add a light glaze made from powdered erythritol and lemon juice if you desire more sweetness on top.
