Ingredients:

  • 1 1/2 cups whole wheat flour
  • 1/2 cup sugar
  • 2 tsp baking powder
  • 1/2 tsp baking soda
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 2 tbsp poppy seeds
  • 1 lemon zest and juice
  • 1/2 cup plain yogurt

Instructions:

Preheat your oven to 350F 175C and line a muffin tin with paper liners

In a separate bowl, combine the lemon zest, lemon juice, yogurt, vegetable oil, egg, and vanilla extract

Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined

Allow the muffins to cool in the tin for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely
