Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a muffin tin with paper liners.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the melted butter and sugar until incorporated. Then, add the eggs, milk, yogurt, lemon juice, lemon zest, and poppyseeds. Mix until smooth.
  3. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Gradually fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture until just combined.
  4. Let the muffin batter rest for about 15 minutes.
  5. Fill each muffin liner generously and bake for 7 minutes at 425°F (220°C). Then, reduce the temperature to 350°F (175°C) and bake for another 6 minutes.
  6. Let the muffins cool in the tin for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack. Prepare the glaze and drizzle over warm muffins.
