Lemon Poppy Seed Muffins are a quick and easy muffin recipe that can be made in 30 minutes. Carbonated lemon water is the secret ingredient to make them super fluffy!
Preheat the oven to 375°F. Line muffins tins with liners. Set aside.
In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment or large mixing bowl using an electric mixer, combine the sugar, vegetable oil and lemon zest. Alternating, add 2 cups of the self-rising flour with 1 cup of the lemon sparkling water. Mix until just blended. Fold in the poppy seeds. Do not overmix.
Fill the muffin cups 3/4 full. Bake for 14-18 minutes or until the tops spring back when lightly touched. Remove from the oven before the tops start to brown.
