Moist, fluffy Lemon Poppy Seed Muffins baked to perfection with a sweet lemon icing on top! | LoveGrowsWild.com

Hello, sweet friends! I know it’s been a few weeks since I’ve shared a new recipe, but I’ve had a TON of house updates to catch you all up on. I hope you’ve been enjoying seeing the changes here at our little farmhouse!

In my kitchen today is…

Lemon Poppy Seed Muffins

Sweet, moist, and fluffy poppy seed muffins filled with fresh lemon flavor and topped with a thick, creamy lemon icing. These light and bright muffins get their flavor from a squeeze of fresh lemon juice and lemon zest, while a scoop of Greek yogurt adds both moisture and protein to the recipe. Try them for breakfast or brunch served with fresh fruit and coffee!

Author: Liz Fourez
Serves: 12
Ingredients
  • For the Muffins:
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • ½ teaspoon baking soda
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • 8 tablespoons unsalted butter, room temperature
  • ¾ cup granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • ½ cup vanilla (or plain) Greek yogurt
  • ¼ cup lemon juice
  • 2 teaspoons lemon zest
  • 1½ tablespoons poppy seeds
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • ½ cup buttermilk

  • For the Lemon Icing:
  • 1 cup confectioners' sugar
  • 2 tablespoons lemon juice
Instructions
  1. To Make the Muffins: Preheat the oven to 375ºF. Spray a 12-cup muffin tin with nonstick cooking spray or use paper liners. In a large bowl, add the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Mix until well combined and set aside.
  2. In another large bowl, cream together the butter and sugar using a stand mixer or hand mixer until mixture is light and fluffy, about 3-4 minutes. Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition and scraping down the sides of the bowl as needed. Then add the Greek yogurt, lemon juice, lemon zest, poppy seeds, and vanilla and mix until well combined.
  3. Turn the mixer on low and add half of the dry ingredients followed by half of the buttermilk. Add the remaining dry ingredients and milk and turn the mixer off when the ingredients are just combined. You don't want to overmix the batter.
  4. Divide the muffin batter evenly into the prepared muffin tin and bake until the tops are lightly golden brown, about 20-22 minutes. Allow the muffins to cool for 10 minutes, then drizzle the tops with the lemon icing recipe below.
  5. To Make the Icing: Combine the confectioners' sugar and lemon juice in a small bowl and stir until completely smooth. Spoon the icing over the cooled muffins.
Notes
- You will need 2-3 lemons for the juice and zest in this recipe.

Did you know that I started blogging almost 9 year Did you know that I started blogging almost 9 years ago? It’s crazy to think I started building this little brand of mine almost a decade ago, but in 2017 I began wanting to share more than just online inspiration and reach people in a more personal way. 

That summer I opened a small retail shop in my favorite antique store in my home state of Indiana and filled it with items that I love and decorate my own home with.  Opening this little shop has been a natural extension of what I create on my blog and in my home and allows people to find my favorite things and decorating ideas all in one place.

My hope is that one day I can offer online shopping & ship items to your door all over the country, but for now if you are ever in the Midwest, I would love for you to come visit this beautiful historic building and browse the many items I handpicked for your home.

We are open Monday-Saturday 10-5 pm & Sunday 12-5 pm inside @originaltreasuremart at 1201 E. Vaile Avenue in Kokomo, IN. You can call (765) 459-3148 for more information. 

I’d love to hear from you... have you visited @lovegrowswildmarket before, and what was your favorite purchase? Thank you from the bottom of my heart for supporting small businesses like mine. 🤍
We made it to Friday, friend 🙌🏻 I’m curio We made it to Friday, friend 🙌🏻

I’m curious... what’s your big cleaning/catch up day around the house? The day when you typically catch up on dishes and all those piles of laundry, grocery shop, etc? I like to get up on Saturday mornings and get it done so I can enjoy a clean house for the rest of the weekend because honestly... I literally CANNOT relax when the house is a mess. I physically can’t do it. What’s your cleaning day of the week and why? 🧼🧹

Who wants to go shopping with me?! Well, virtuall Who wants to go shopping with me?!

Well, virtually... but I promise it will still be fun! I took a trip to a store I've never been to before and found some of the prettiest decor for such a good deal at @tuesdaymorning. #ad After all the snow we've had the last few weeks, getting out of the house and putting real clothes on for a solo shopping trip felt like such a treat!

A few of my favorite finds were: an extra-long lumbar pillow for my sofa, beautiful black textured bowls that I can't decide if I want to actually use in my kitchen or decorate with, a bouquet of dried greenery, and a new dog bed for Remington. I will be sharing how I styled these items on the blog next week, so stay tuned!

Swipe to see video of my shopping trip and all that you can find at a Tuesday Morning near you! Do you have a store close to you? Have you been before? Let me know in the comments!

Later this week: sharing a home decor shopping trip to a store I’ve never been to before, photographing my office (just wait till you see how big of a difference adding some shelves in here made), unboxing tons of new spring items for @lovegrowswildmarket, and adding some artwork to this blank wall!

Which are you most excited to see? P.S. still absolutely obsessed with the new dining chairs 😍

Yesterday I had a design meeting with one of my to Yesterday I had a design meeting with one of my toughest clients yet... my teenage son. 😂 Actually, he is probably the easiest person to please, and his requests for the upcoming bedroom makeover we are planning were pretty simple:

• blackout curtains so he can sleep in on weekends
• a new darker paint color
• somewhere to charge all his devices

I think I can handle that! This room is quite a challenge with the small size & layout, but I think we’ve come up with a game plan to make it more functional and much more “him”. 

Once I catch up on all my current projects and design work, I’m excited to dive into making this space perfect for him! P.S. where did my little boy go that wanted Thomas the Train as the theme in his bedroom? 🥺
