LEMON BLUEBERRY POPPY SEED MUFFINS
These muffins are everything a lemon-blueberry-poppy-seed muffin should be. They have a little bite to them, but are still light and fluffy. This recipe is easily halved to make six muffins-- which I prefer, as muffins are best fresh and I can't get through a full batch of twelve by myself. I like a lot of poppy seeds in my muffins. If you don't, I would recommend cutting the amount down to 1 tablespoon. If you like a sweeter muffin, it's okay to up the sugar by 1/3 cup. If you're trying to go the other direction and get them less sweet, I would proceed cautiously, as I have already cut back from the amount of sugar the base recipe used. However, if you do reduce the sugar further, please post your results in the comments! You don't have to use Greek yogurt-- regular or low-fat yogurt will work, or even sour cream if you want to be a little more decadent.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Line a standard 12-cup muffin tin with baking cups. In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. In a separate bowl, whisk together sugar, eggs, zest, juice, and milk. Whisk in butter. Stir wet ingredients into dry ingredients, until just combined. Stir poppy seeds into batter.
- Divide batter evenly between muffin cups, adding a scant 1/4 cup to each. Sprinkle with sugar and poppy seeds, if desired. Bake until tops spring back when lightly touched, about 20 minutes. Cool 5 minutes in pan, then transfer to wire rack to cool completely.
MOIST AND FLUFFY LEMON POPPY SEED MUFFINS
Taken from 'The Canadian Baker' Blog. Absolutely the best texture I've ever had. Moist, fluffy, and light. Adaptable for blueberry lemon muffins, raspberry orange etc. I will add more lemon juice next time as I found it not zesty enough, and will cut back on the poppy seeds slightly. A simple lemon glaze makes this the perfect sweet treat for a cold day or an after lunch dessert.

LEMON POPPY SEED MUFFINS II
Melt in your mouth lemony-goodness! These muffins are LEMONY, but delicious! If you prefer, use less lemon juice for the glaze and substitute equal amount of milk for glaze. Or, simply forgo the glaze but this really adds to the overall taste. Also, you may use 24 mini-muffin tins, bake only 10-12 minutes.

Tips:
- For the best lemon flavor, use freshly squeezed lemon juice and zest.
- If you don't have buttermilk, you can make your own by adding 1 tablespoon of lemon juice or vinegar to 1 cup of regular milk. Let it sit for 5 minutes before using.
- Be sure to mix the dry ingredients together thoroughly before adding them to the wet ingredients. This will help to prevent lumps.
- Don't overmix the batter. Overmixing can make the muffins tough.
- Fill the muffin cups about 2/3 full. If you fill them too full, the muffins will overflow and make a mess.
- Bake the muffins until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Overbaking will make the muffins dry.
- Let the muffins cool in the pan for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
