  • Total Time: 30 mins
  • Yield: 12 muffins 1x

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • Zest of 1 lemon
  • 1 cup plain yogurt
  • 1/2 cup milk
  • 1/3 cup neutral oil or melted butter
  • 2 large eggs
  • 2 tablespoons lemon juice

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a muffin tin with papers.
  2. Whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and lemon zest.
  3. In a separate bowl, whisk yogurt, milk, oil, eggs, and lemon juice until smooth.
  4. Pour wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined; the batter will be slightly lumpy.
  5. Spoon into muffin cups about 3/4 full and bake 18-22 minutes until a toothpick comes out clean.
  6. Cool in the pan for 5 minutes, then transfer to a rack to cool completely.

Notes

  • Do not overmix for tender muffins.
  • For extra lemon zing, add a teaspoon of lemon zest or a glaze.
