Instructions

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a muffin tin with paper liners or grease it with non-stick spray.

In a large mixing bowl, combine the cottage cheese, sugar, melted butter, egg, vanilla extract, lemon zest, and lemon juice. Stir until well combined.

In another bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, salt, and poppy seeds.

Gradually add the dry mixture to the wet mixture, stirring gently just until everything is combined. Be careful not to overmix; a few lumps are okay!

Spoon the batter into the prepared muffin tin, filling each cup about 3/4 full.

Place in the oven and bake for 18 to 20 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.

Allow the muffins to cool in the tin for about 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
