Ingredients

  • 2 cups All purpose flour (Maida)
  • 5 tablespoons Poppy seeds (khuskhus)
  • ¼ teaspoon Salt
  • 1 teaspoon Baking soda
  • 1 stick or ½ cup Unsalted butter softened at room temperature
  • 1 cup White granulated sugar
  • ½ cup Unsweetened Applesauce **
  • 1 cup Plain yogurt
  • Lemon zest from 1 lemon
  • 1 teaspoon Pure vanilla extract

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F or 200 degrees C for at least 10 minutes.
  • Line the muffin pans with muffin liners or just spray it with nonstick cooking spray.

Making lemon muffins with poppy seeds:

  • First mix dry ingredients. Take all purpose flour, poppy seeds, salt and baking soda in a bowl.
  • Mix them till they are incorporated. Keep it aside.
  • Take soften butter and sugar in another bowl.
  • Cream or beat it together using wire whisk or by hand mixer or stand mixer. Beat it until light and fluffy.
  • Then add applesauce. Whisk well.
  • Add yogurt, vanilla extract and lemon zest. Whisk well till incorporated well. It will curdle but it is perfectly fine.
  • Add flour mixture. Mix well using spatula. Do not over mix. You will feel very light and airy batter.
  • Divide it into prepared 12 muffins cups.
  • Bake them into preheated oven for 18-20 minutes. Check by inserting a toothpick in the center, if it comes out clean then it is ready.
  • Remove it from the oven and let the muffins cool into the pan for 5 minutes.
  • Then remove it to a wire rack and let them cool completely.

Notes

** Substitute the ½ cup of applesauce with ½ cup of yogurt. So all together use 1 ½ cups of plain yogurt.
** I have used store bought applesauce. But you can use homemade too. Let’s quickly go through how to make applesauce at home: peel, core and cut 3 medium apples. Cook them with 6 tablespoons of water on low heat till cooked (about 20 minutes). Mash it with potato masher until it gets smooth.
