Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a muffin tin with paper liners.
In a bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
In another bowl, mix the sugar and poppy seeds.
Add the egg, buttermilk, vegetable oil, lemon zest, and lemon juice to the sugar mixture and stir until combined.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined.
