A delightful treat that perfectly balances zesty lime and nutty poppy seeds, ideal for breakfast or as a snack.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups (240 g) all-purpose flour
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 3/4 cup (150 g) sugar
- 2 tablespoons poppy seeds
- 2 tablespoons lime zest (from about 2 limes)
- 1/4 cup lime juice (freshly squeezed, from about 2 limes)
- 1 cup (240 ml) buttermilk
- 2 large eggs
- 1/2 cup (115 g) melted butter
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, sugar, poppy seeds, and lime zest until well combined.
- In another bowl, whisk together the buttermilk, eggs, melted butter, and lime juice until smooth.
- Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Gently fold the mixture together using a spatula or wooden spoon until just combined.
- Using a large cookie scoop or spoon, drop generous mounds of batter onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
- Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 15-18 minutes, or until the tops are golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Remove the muffin tops from the oven and allow them to cool on the baking sheet for about 5 minutes. Then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
- For an optional glaze, mix 1 cup (120 g) of powdered sugar with 2-3 tablespoons of lime juice until smooth and drizzle over the cooled muffin tops.
- Enjoy your lime poppy seed muffin tops as a delightful breakfast treat or snack.
