This delicious muffin recipe is a treat for a special morning.

Ingredients

• ⅓ cup (80 ml) milk
• ¼ cup (60 ml) vegetable oil
• ⅔ cup (160 ml) nonfat lemon yogurt
• 1 egg
• 1 ¾ cups (300 g) all-purpose flour
• ¼ cup (60 g) white granulated sugar
• 2 tbsp poppy seeds
• 1 tbsp lemon zest
• ¼ tsp lemon extract
• 2½ tsp baking powder
• ½ tsp baking soda
• ½ tsp salt
• ½ cup (120 g) confectioners' sugar
• 2 ½ tsp lemon juice

Procedure

Glazing the muffins

1. Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).
2. Grease a 12-cup muffin tin with cold butter.
3. Sift the flour, sugar, poppy seeds, lemon zest, lemon extract, baking powder, and salt into a medium bowl.
4. In a separate bowl, mix the milk, oil, lemon yogurt, and egg together.
5. Fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture in three steps. Take care not to over-mix the batter.
6. Divide the batter between the muffin cups.
7. Bake for 16 minutes, or until golden brown. Muffins should be springy to the touch and a toothpick stuck in will come out clean.
8. While muffins are baking, prepare the glaze: Stir confectioners' sugar with the lemon juice until smooth.
9. Drizzle muffins with glaze.
10. Let cool on rack for 10 minutes and remove from muffin tin.

Notes, tips, and variations

• ⅛ cup (30 g) sliced almonds can be sprinkled on after glazing for artistic flair.
• Fresh Fruit and Yogurt Parfait: Slice your muffins in half and layer them with fresh berries, yogurt, and a drizzle of honey for a refreshing breakfast.
