Directions
1)Preheat oven to 375°F and line a 12-cup muffin pan with liners or grease well.
2)In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, poppy seeds, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
3)In another bowl, whisk the Greek yogurt, blended cottage cheese, maple syrup, lemon juice, lemon zest, lemon extract, eggs, and melted butter until smooth.
4)Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and gently mix until just combined. Do not overmix — a few lumps are okay.
5)Divide the batter evenly into the muffin cups, filling about ¾ full.
6)Bake for 18–20 minutes, or until the tops are lightly golden and a toothpick inserted comes out clean.
7)Let cool for about 10 minutes
