Lemon Poppy Seed Muffins with Greek Yogurt & Lemon Glaze is a popular American bakery-style recipe known for its bright, tangy flavor and moist texture.
- Flavor: These muffins combine the zesty, citrusy taste of fresh lemon with the subtle crunch of poppy seeds. The Greek yogurt adds a slight tang and keeps the muffins tender.
- Texture: Moist and fluffy due to the yogurt, with a delicate crumb. The poppy seeds provide a mild nutty texture.
- Lemon Glaze: A sweet-tart glaze made from lemon juice and powdered sugar is drizzled on top, adding extra zing and a shiny finish.
