Add in 2 large eggs, 3/4 cup honey Greek yogurt, 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, and 2 tablespoons lemon juice, and whisk until combined.

Add 2 teaspoons baking powder, 1/4 teaspoon baking soda, and 1/2 teaspoon salt, and whisk until just combined.

Fold in 2 cups all-purpose flour and 1 tablespoon poppy seeds until the batter just forms, being careful not to overmix.

Spray a mini muffin pan with nonstick cooking spray.

Divide the batter equally among the muffin cups, filling them to the top.

Bake for 12-14 minutes until the tops are risen and domed, and the edges are light golden brown.

Remove from the oven and allow to cool.

In a medium bowl, whisk together 1 cup powdered sugar and 1-2 tablespoons lemon juice to create a glaze.

Drizzle the glaze over the mini muffins.
