			Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 F. Lightly grease a muffin tin with nonstick cooking spray or line with paper muffin liners.
- In a small bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder and salt. Set aside.
- In another small bowl, combine sugar and lemon zest. Rub the sugar and lemon zest together with your fingers until fragrant.
- In the bowl of a stand mixer, beat butter and sugar together until light and fluffy.
- Add eggs, vanilla, lemon juice, and milk. Mix until combined. Add flour mixture and mix on low until just combined. Gently stir in the blueberries and poppy seeds.
- Divide batter evenly into 12 muffin cups.  Be sure to not fill any cup more than 3/4 full.  Bake for 22 to 24 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Remove from oven and let muffins cool on a wire rack.
- Optional:  While the muffins are cooling, you can make a lemon glaze.  In a small bowl, whisk together 1c powdered sugar and 2 tbsp lemon juice. Drizzle the glaze over the muffins. Let the muffins sit until the glaze sets, then serve!
