Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups All-purpose flour
- 0.75 cups Granulated sugar
- 2 teaspoons Baking powder
- 0.25 teaspoons Salt
- 0.5 cups Unsalted butter, melted
- 0.5 cups Whole milk
- 0.25 cups Freshly squeezed lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon Lemon zest
- 2 pieces Large eggs
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 0.5 cups Confectioners' sugar (for glaze)
- 1.5 tablespoons Freshly squeezed lemon juice (for glaze)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners or lightly grease with cooking spray.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, and salt until well combined.
In a separate large bowl, whisk the melted butter, milk, lemon juice, lemon zest, eggs, and vanilla extract until smooth.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, stirring gently with a spatula until just combined. Do not 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 or with a few moist crumbs.
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.
To make the glaze, whisk together the confectioners' sugar and lemon juice in a small bowl until smooth and drizzle-able.
Once the muffins are completely cooled, drizzle the lemon glaze over the tops of the muffins. Allow the glaze to set for a few minutes before serving.
Enjoy your Tangy Lemonade Muffins with a cup of tea or coffee!
