Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1.5 teaspoons baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 0.75 cup unsalted butter, melted and slightly cooled
- 0.75 cup buttermilk, at room temperature
- 2 pieces large eggs, at room temperature
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 3 tablespoons poppy seeds
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners or lightly grease the cups with butter.
Step 2
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, and salt until well combined. Set aside.
Step 3
In a medium bowl, whisk together the melted butter, buttermilk, eggs, and vanilla extract until smooth and uniform.
Step 4
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and gently fold with a spatula until just combined. Do not overmix; a few lumps are okay.
Step 5
Gently fold in the poppy seeds until evenly distributed throughout the batter.
Step 6
Divide the batter evenly among the prepared muffin cups, filling each about three-quarters full.
Step 7
Bake in the preheated oven for 16-18 minutes, or until the tops are lightly golden and a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.
Step 8
Remove the muffins from the oven and allow them to cool in the tin for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
Step 9
Enjoy the muffins warm or at room temperature. Store any leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
