  1. 01Mix dry ingredients with poppyseeds. Whisk wet with lemon zest and juice.
  2. 02Combine until just mixed.
  3. 03Fill cups 2/3 full.
  4. 04Ready for the air fryer.
  5. 05Drizzle with lemon glaze after cooling for 5 minutes.
Zest first, then juice. It's much easier to zest a whole lemon than a juiced one. The poppyseeds add a subtle crunch that you don't notice in the first bite but miss when they're not there.
