How to Make Banana Lemon Poppy Seed Muffins

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line muffin tins with paper liners or grease with cooking spray.
  2. In a small bowl, whisk together 1 cup powdered sugar and 2-3 tablespoons lemon juice until a smooth, pourable glaze forms.
  3. Set glaze aside.
  4. In a medium bowl, whisk together 2 cups all-purpose flour, 2 teaspoons baking powder, 1/2 teaspoon baking soda, and 1/4 teaspoon salt.
  5. In a large bowl, mash 3 ripe bananas until mostly smooth.
  6. Add 2 large eggs, 3/4 cup granulated sugar, 1 cup buttermilk, 2 tablespoons lemon juice, 1/3 cup canola oil, and 1 tablespoon poppy seeds to the mashed bananas.
  7. Whisk the wet ingredients until well combined.
  8. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix; a few lumps are okay.
  9. Fill muffin cups about 2/3 full.
  10. Bake regular-sized muffins for 22-24 minutes, or mini muffins for 15-18 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  11. Let muffins cool in the tin for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
  12. Once cooled, drizzle with lemon glaze.
