Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a muffin tin with paper liners or grease with cooking spray.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and lemon zest.
In a separate bowl, mix together the melted butter, buttermilk, eggs, lemon juice, and vanilla extract until well combined.
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir gently until just combined. Do not overmix.
Fold in the poppy seeds until evenly distributed throughout the batter.
Divide the batter evenly among the prepared muffin cups, filling each about 3/4 full.
Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until the muffins are golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Remove the muffins from the oven and let them cool in the pan for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
