Lemon poppy seed muffins

These muffins are the perfect way to start your day or enjoy as an afternoon pick-me-up. They're easy to make and are ready to go in the oven in 15 minutes. When making muffins, the dry ingredients are whisked together in one bowl, while the wet ingredients are combined in another. The wet mixture is then added to the dry (never the other way around), and it’s important to work quickly and efficiently, stirring just until they’re combined. Overmixing creates too much gluten, which produces tough muffins. You’ll want to remove the cooked muffins from the muffin tin to cool completely on a wire rack. If they stay in the pan, they run the risk of overcooking.
