Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 0.75 cup granulated sugar
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 cup unsalted butter (melted and cooled)
- 0.5 cup milk
- 2 large eggs
- 1 tablespoon lemon zest
- 1 tablespoon lime zest
- 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons fresh lime juice
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 0.25 cup powdered sugar (optional, for garnish)
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners or lightly grease the tin.
Step 2
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, and salt until well combined.
Step 3
In a separate bowl, mix the melted butter, milk, eggs, lemon zest, lime zest, lemon juice, lime juice, and vanilla extract until smooth.
Step 4
Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, stirring gently until just combined. Be careful not to overmix, as this can make the muffins dense.
Step 5
Using a spoon or cookie scoop, evenly divide the batter among the prepared muffin cups, filling each about 2/3 full.
Step 6
Bake in the preheated oven for 16-18 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.
Step 7
Remove the muffins from the oven and let them cool in the tin for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Step 8
If desired, sprinkle the tops of the cooled muffins with powdered sugar for an extra touch of sweetness.
Step 9
Serve immediately or store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
