Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups All-purpose flour
- 0.75 cup Granulated sugar
- 2 teaspoons Baking powder
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 cup Unsalted butter, melted
- 0.5 cup Milk
- 0.5 cup Greek yogurt
- 2 large Eggs
- 0.25 cup Fresh lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons Lemon zest
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 1 cup Powdered sugar
- 2 tablespoons Fresh lemon juice (for glaze)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a standard 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners or lightly grease with nonstick spray.
In a large bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, and salt until evenly combined.
In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the melted butter, milk, Greek yogurt, eggs, 1/4 cup of fresh lemon juice, lemon zest, and vanilla extract until smooth.
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and gently fold them together with a spatula until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; the batter should be slightly lumpy.
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 a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.
Remove the muffins from the oven and let them cool in the pan for about 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
While the muffins are cooling, prepare the glaze by whisking together the powdered sugar and 2 tablespoons of fresh lemon juice in a small bowl until smooth.
Drizzle the lemon glaze over the cooled muffins and let it set for about 10 minutes before serving.
Enjoy these tangy and sweet Lotta Lemon Muffins with a cup of tea or coffee!
