Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups All-purpose flour
- 0.75 cup Granulated sugar
- 2 teaspoons Baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Baking soda
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 1 cup Plain Greek yogurt
- 2 teaspoons Lemon zest
- 0.25 cup Freshly squeezed lemon juice
- 1 piece Large egg
- 0.25 cup Unsalted butter, melted and slightly cooled
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 0.5 cup Powdered sugar (optional, for glazing)
- 1 tablespoon Fresh lemon juice (optional, for glazing)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners or grease it lightly with non-stick cooking spray.
In a large bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
In a separate medium-sized bowl, mix the yogurt, lemon zest, lemon juice, egg, melted butter, and vanilla extract until well combined.
Create a well in the center of the dry ingredients and pour in the wet ingredients. Use a spatula or wooden spoon to gently fold the mixture together until just combined. Do not overmix, as this can result in dense muffins.
Divide the batter evenly among the muffin cups, filling each about 3/4 full.
Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.
Allow the muffins to cool in the tin for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
If you’d like to add a lemon glaze, whisk together the powdered sugar and fresh lemon juice in a small bowl until smooth. Drizzle the glaze over the cooled muffins.
Serve the muffins fresh or store them in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
