Instructions:
1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a muffin tin with paper liners or grease the cups with cooking spray.
2. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, poppy seeds, baking powder, baking soda, and salt until well combined.
3. In a separate bowl, whisk together the Greek yogurt, melted butter, eggs, lemon zest, lemon juice, and vanilla extract until smooth.
4. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and gently fold them together with a spatula until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; a few lumps are okay.
5. Divide the batter evenly among the prepared muffin cups, filling each about 3/4 full.
6. Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until the muffins are golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
7. Remove the muffins from the oven and let them cool in the pan for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
8. If desired, prepare the glaze by whisking together the powdered sugar and lemon juice until smooth. Drizzle the glaze over the cooled muffins.
9. Allow the glaze to set before serving the lemon poppy seed muffins.
10. Enjoy your delicious muffins as a delightful breakfast or snack!
