Ingredients

• 1.5 cups All-purpose flour
• 1.5 teaspoons Baking powder
• 0.25 teaspoons Salt
• 0.5 cups Splenda (granular)
• 0.25 cups Unsalted butter, melted and slightly cooled
• 0.5 cups Plain Greek yogurt
• 2 pieces Large eggs
• 0.25 cups Freshly squeezed lemon juice
• 1 tablespoon Lemon zest
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 2 tablespoons Milk

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 cups with non-stick spray.

Step 2

In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.

Step 3

In a large bowl, combine the Splenda, melted butter, and Greek yogurt until smooth. Add the eggs, one at a time, mixing well after each addition.

Step 4

Stir in the lemon juice, lemon zest, and vanilla extract until evenly incorporated.

Step 5

Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, stirring gently until just combined. Avoid overmixing to keep the muffins light and tender.

Step 6

If the batter seems too thick, stir in the milk, one tablespoon at a time, until the consistency is slightly thick but spoonable.

Step 7

Evenly distribute the batter into the prepared muffin tin, filling each cup about 3/4 full.

Step 8

Bake in the preheated oven for 16–18 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean or with a few moist crumbs.

Step 9

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 10

Serve warm or at room temperature. Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
