Ingredients

Directions

  1. Heat oven to 400°F. Grease bottoms only of 12 regular size muffin cups, or place paper baking cups in muffin cups.
  2. For Regular Recipe: Beat milk, oil, yogurt, and egg in a large bowl. Stir in flour, sugar, poppy seed, baking powder, baking soda, and salt just until flour is moistened.
  3. For Lighter Recipe: Beat skim milk, applesauce, oil, yogurt, and egg in a large bowl. Stir in flour, sugar, poppy seed, baking powder, baking soda, and salt just until flour is moistened.
  4. Divide batter evenly among muffin cups. Bake 16 to 18 minutes or until golden brown.
  5. Immediately remove muffins from pan. Drizzle with Lemon Glaze while warm.
  6. To make Lemon Glaze: Mix powdered sugar (approx 1/2 cup) with lemon juice and grated lemon peel until smooth. Adjust consistency with additional juice or sugar as needed.
