These bright and fluffy lemon muffins are made with healthier whole wheat flour, and are eggless for a completely vegan muffin. They are easy to prepare from scratch in only 40 minutes.

Lemon Muffins (Eggless, Whole Wheat)

whole wheat flour

baking powder

sugar

water

olive oil (or any neutral oil)

lemon juice juice

lemon zest

Line a muffin pan with muffin liners. You can also grease the pan with oil instead of using muffin liners.

Now rinse a large lemon first. Wipe dry and then zest the lemon with a zester or grater. Keep the lemon zest aside. Only remove the yellow or green part of the peel and not the white pith. Also preheat your oven to 180 degrees Celsius or 356 degrees Fahrenheit.

Halve the lemon and squeeze it to get its juice. You should get about ¼ cup lemon juice. Do measure the juice quantity as ¼ cup is required for this recipe.

Preparation

Take the lemon juice in a mixing bowl or pan.

Now add the raw sugar to the lemon juice.

Add water. With a wired whisk begin to stir so that all the sugar granules are dissolved in the lemon solution.

Add olive oil. With a wired whisk stir briskly for 2 to 3 minutes so that the oil is mixed evenly with the lemon juice and sugar solution.

Now take a plate or tray. Place a sieve on it. Add whole wheat flour and add baking powder. 

Sift the dry ingredients onto the tray and plate.

Now add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients. Also add the lemon zest.

With light hands stir well. Be quick to stir. Everything should be mixed very well. But don't over do the mixing.

Pour the batter in the muffin liners up-to ⅔.

Making Batter

Bake the muffins at 180 degrees Celsius (356 degrees Fahrenheit) for 20 to 25 minutes. Since the temperatures in all the ovens are not the same, do keep a check while baking. 

A toothpick or bamboo skewer inserted in the muffins should come out clean.

After 4 to 5 minutes, place the lemon muffins on a wire rack to cool. From this recipe you will get 8 medium sized lemon muffins.

Serve these egg free lemon muffins as a sweet snack or dessert. You can also pack one or two muffins in the tiffin box as a side sweet snack.

We love anything lemon but we're not a fan of poppy seeds. What would be a good substitute for the poppy seeds in this muffin recipe?

These are the BEST lemon poppy seed muffins! They're bakery-quality with super tall muffin tops, a moist texture, super fresh lemon flavor, and homemade lemon simple syrup brushed on top. 

(320 grams) all purpose flour*

(200 grams) granulated sugar

tsp baking powder

tsp baking soda

tsp salt

(110 grams) unsalted butter, melted

eggs, room temp

(65 grams) sour cream**, room temp

tsp almond extract (or lemon extract)

tbsp lemon zest (about 2 lemons)

tbsp lemon juice (about 1/2 lemon)

(255 milliliters) milk, room temp

(118 milliliters) fresh lemon juice (about 4 lemons)

(100 grams) granulated sugar

Lemon lemon

In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and poppy seeds.

In another bowl, mix together the melted butter, oil, eggs, sour cream, vanilla extract, almond extract, and lemon zest, lemon juice, and milk.

Pour the wet mixture into the dry and use a rubber spatula to combine.

Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and rest at room temperature for 1 hour.

In the meantime, make the lemon simple syrup.

Add the lemon juice and sugar to a saucepan and place over medium heat. 

Bring to a boil, then simmer for 10 minutes to let the sugar completely dissolve.

While that simmers, peel the zest from 1 lemon. I recommend using a paring knife to carefully peel away the zest and try not to cut into the pith too much. Place the zest in a heat safe bowl.

Remove the lemon syrup from the heat and pour into the bowl of zest. Let it cool at room temperature while the muffin batter continues to rest.

Close to the 1 hour mark, preheat the oven to 425F and line a cupcake tin with one of these two options: 1 &#8211; line with 11 paper liners. 2 &#8211; line with 6 paper liners, placing in every other cup so they are evenly spaced. This method means the muffins are baked in 2 batches (if you only have 1 cupcake tin), but it will also lead to taller muffin tops. It&#8217;s up to you, but I prefer method 2!

Using a large 2 oz scoop (or about 1/4 cup), fill each liner all the way to the top and then some. Be careful not to disrupt the batter too much when scooping. That hour of rest helped fluff up the batter for a taller rise in the oven, so we don&#8217;t want it to deflate!

Bake for 8 minutes. Then change the oven heat setting to 350F and bake for another 8-10 minutes.

*If baking in two batches, make sure to set the heat back up to 425F once the first batch is done baking.

When the muffins are fresh from the oven, brush with a generous amount of the lemon simple syrup. 

Allow the muffins to cool in the pan for about 5 minutes, then transfer to a cooling rack to cool for another 15-20 minutes. Sprinkle with more poppy seeds if desired and dig in while they&#8217;re still warm!

I've never before found a recipe that tasted like the "best" lemon poppyseed muffin out there. Now I have! Absolutely delicious! Thank you!

Definitely the BEST lemon poppy seed muffins. I realized I wasn't a fan of almond extract after remembering the smell of it when putting it into the recipe however it was very good and not over powering at all! 

P.s. the left over lemon syrup makes great whisky sours !  2oz whiskey + 1.5 Oz lemon syrup ☆☆☆

I made this recipe twice this week. It is so good! The Second time I put more almond extract because I couldn't taste it at all the first time and I love it that way :) also my muffins were getting brown really fast after 8 min at 425 so I had to bake it for 5 min only at 350

This was by far THE BEST RECIPE I HAVE TRIDE!!!!!!

very time consuming, but the best muffins I have made. I wonder if the simple syrup can be incorporated into the batter as well.

Oh my gosh. These were the best poppy seed muffins. They are fluffy and yummy. I tried them as the recipe is written and the 1hr wait time was difficult because I was eating the Batter. Thank you for this deliciousness. I will have to make another batch to share.

This is honestly one of the best muffin recipes I have ever made! They have that beautful domed top exactly like the ones in bakeries and they taste amazing. They have the perfect level of sweetness and tangyness!

Followed your recipe exactly, and they really are outstanding. I am back one week later to make another batch since they went so fast!  Thank you!

This recipe was fantastic. Just a couple tips for those wanting to make this recipe: I bought three  ripe lemons and it was enough for the whole recipe. You’re using the zest for two lemons, and the skin for one. When I juiced all of them, it was enough for the syrup and the bit in the batter! Another thing, I wouldn’t recommend another layer of syrup after you’ve already brushed the first layer of syrup, it gets very acidic then. Great recipe!
