Ingredients

• 2 cups All-purpose flour
• 0.75 cup Granulated sugar
• 2 teaspoons Baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoon Baking soda
• 0.25 teaspoon Salt
• 1 cup Plain Greek yogurt
• 2 teaspoons Lemon zest
• 0.25 cup Freshly squeezed lemon juice
• 1 piece Large egg
• 0.25 cup Unsalted butter, melted and slightly cooled
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 0.5 cup Powdered sugar (optional, for glazing)
• 1 tablespoon Fresh lemon juice (optional, for glazing)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners or grease it lightly with non-stick cooking spray.

Step 2

In a large bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.

Step 3

In a separate medium-sized bowl, mix the yogurt, lemon zest, lemon juice, egg, melted butter, and vanilla extract until well combined.

Step 4

Create a well in the center of the dry ingredients and pour in the wet ingredients. Use a spatula or wooden spoon to gently fold the mixture together until just combined. Do not overmix, as this can result in dense muffins.

Step 5

Divide the batter evenly among the muffin cups, filling each about 3/4 full.

Step 6

Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.

Step 7

Allow the muffins to cool in the tin for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 8

If you’d like to add a lemon glaze, whisk together the powdered sugar and fresh lemon juice in a small bowl until smooth. Drizzle the glaze over the cooled muffins.

Step 9

Serve the muffins fresh or store them in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
