How to Make Lemon Poppy Seed Cupcakes

By Amy Feigns

Through the ages, poppy seeds have proven their significance in the medical history and as a significant element in a lot of healthy dishes. These days, more and more recipes have been brought up that highlight the use of poppy seeds . In a wide variety of cuisines, poppy seeds have been given great importance due to its health properties.

Most often, poppy seeds are the people's favorite in various baked goods like bread, muffins, cakes, and more. One good example is the lemon poppy seed cupcake which is not just the perfect addition to any meals but as a healthy snack for a healthy lifestyle. For making this unique twist for cupcakes, you will require yourself to have a zest of lemon, softened butter, sugar, blue poppy seeds, vanilla extract, yoghurt, baking soda, baking powder, and all purpose flour. To make a fine mixture for the icing, you will be needing lemon juice or water, and an icing sugar.

What you need to do first is to prepare the moldings by greasing them properly. You must then have the oven preheated in a 200 degrees Celsius or 400 degrees Fahrenheit temperature. While doing this, you can start mixing the sugar and butter through the aid of a hand mixer within 3 minutes until the solution has become creamy and light. Then add the eggs one at a time while you go on with the stirring. Also add the blue poppy seeds into the mixture.

After having added all the eggs, vanilla extract and lemon zest follows into the mixture. On the other bowl, start mixing together all the dry ingredients. After having properly mixed all the wet ingredients, you may then slow down the pace and pour in the yoghurt along with the dry ingredients alternately in way of starting and ending with flour.

You may then start pouring the prepared mixture into its moulds and properly even out the top before placing them into the oven. For about 18 to 20 minutes, bake the mixture into the oven. To properly determine whether or not the muffins are already well baked, you can do so through a thin knife. After having securely determined that the muffins are already fully baked, you may start getting them out of their moulds and wait for five minutes to have all of them cooled down. The cooling factor is important before you start adding the icing on top to avoid melting the icing as it will look differently.

But to make the icing, you will mix the lemon juice along with the icing sugar until it gets moist. You may add some of the said ingredients when needed with an interval until you have reached the needed texture. The icing should be creamy and white to make a perfect topping for your muffins. And then serve the muffins as a unique dessert or as a mouth watering snack. - 17274
