This recipes yields a dozen muffins.

Dry ingredients
1 3/4 cups	white flour
1/2 cup	sugar
1 tsp	baking powder
1/2 tsp	baking soda
1/4 tsp	salt
1 tsp	poppy seeds

Wet ingredients
1	egg, beaten
2 tsp	lemon zest, finely minced
8 oz	plain yogurt
1/3 cup	canola oil
2 Tbsp	lemon extract
1 tsp	vanilla

Glaze
2 tsp	lemon juice, fresh
1/2 cup	powdered sugar, sifted
1/2 tsp	poppy seeds

Directions
Mix dry ingredients in one bowl. Mix wet ingredients in a separate bowl. Combine the two bowls by making a well in the dry ingredients, and adding the wet mixture all at once. Stir until just moistened – the batter will be lumpy. Scoop into greased muffin tins. Bake at 350 degrees for 18-20 minutes, or until golden. Let the muffins sit for 5 minutes before removing from the muffin pans. Meanwhile, stir together powdered sugar and enough fresh lemon juice to make a glaze that is easy to drizzle. Drizzle over warm muffins, and serve while warm.
