Ready In
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Line 12 muffin cups with paper liners.
- Beat sugar and butter with an electric mixer in a large bowl until light and fluffy. The mixture should be noticeably lighter in color. Add egg yolks one at a time, allowing the first to blend into the butter mixture before adding the last. Beat almond extract and lemon zest into the mixture.
- Stir flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt together in a separate bowl; add to creamed mixture alternately with buttermilk, mixing until just combined into a batter. Fold poppy seeds through the batter.
- Beat egg whites in a glass or metal bowl until stiff peaks form. Lift your beater or whisk straight up: the egg whites will form sharp peaks; fold into the batter. Spoon batter into prepared muffin cups to about 2/3 full.
- Bake in the preheated oven until golden and the tops spring back when lightly pressed, 15 to 18 minutes; remove from pan and let cool on rack.

Used 1/2 cup whole milk and 1/3 cup sour cream instead of buttermilk, also put in a lot of extra lemon zest, so they were really more like lemon poppy seed cupcakes. Amazingly fluffy and delicio...

This is a very good recipe. I did make one change and that was reducing the poppy-seed to 2 tablespoons. That seemed to be enough. Will definitely make this again.

So delicious! I followed the recipe exactly. I did use kosher salt and didn’t fill up the half teaspoon all the way, and they weren’t too salty. This recipe made 4 giant muffins. Perfect for a c...

Pretty nice! The only thing I did different was to use 2% milk instead of buttermilk, and tossed in an extra half Tbsp poppy seeds (for a total of 3Tbsp). They turned out fine, I ended up with 1...
