Step 1

Preheat an oven to 180c (350f) and prep a 12-cup muffin pan with paper liners.

Step 2

Into a big mixing bowl, add the sugar, lemon juice, lemon zest, eggs, vanilla extract, greek yogurt, milk, kosher salt, and cooled melted butter. Mix with a whisk until the mixture is well combined.

Step 3

Into a medium mixing bowl, add the flour, poppy seeds, baking powder, and baking soda, and mix until just combined.

Step 4

Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and mix with a whisk until just combined. Don't overmix the batter! Let the batter sit at room temperature for at least 20 minutes.

Step 5

Scoop the batter with a large ice cream scooper into the muffin tins, filling them almost completely, and bake in a 180c (350f) preheated oven for 18-20 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean.
