Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 0.75 cups granulated sugar
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoons baking soda
- 0.25 teaspoons salt
- 1 cup plain Greek yogurt
- 0.25 cups lemon juice
- 1 tablespoons lemon zest
- 0.5 cups unsalted butter, melted and cooled
- 2 pieces large eggs
- 1 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 2 tablespoons powdered sugar (optional, for dusting)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners or lightly grease the pan with nonstick spray.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt until well combined.
In a medium bowl, combine the Greek yogurt, lemon juice, lemon zest, melted butter, eggs, and vanilla extract. Whisk until the mixture is smooth and fully incorporated.
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Using a spatula or wooden spoon, gently fold the mixture together until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; the batter should be slightly lumpy.
Spoon the batter evenly into the prepared 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.
Remove the muffin tin from the oven and let the muffins cool in the pan for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
If desired, dust the tops of the muffins with powdered sugar before serving. Enjoy!
