Step 1

Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Place 9 muffin liners in a muffin tin. Set aside.

Step 2

In a mixing bowl, add the sugar, egg, yogurt, oil, milk, vanilla and lemon zest, and whisk until well combined.

Step 3

In a separate bowl, stir together the flour, baking powder, salt, and poppy seeds.

Step 4

Combine the wet and dry ingredients and mix until just combined. A few lumps are ok.

Step 5

Divide the batter evenly between the prepared muffin cups, filling almost to the top.

Step 6

Bake muffins on an upper-middle rack for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.

Step 7

Let cool for ten minutes before removing muffins from the tin.

Step 8

These muffins are the most delicious the day they are made. Enjoy! Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for 2 days
