Ingredients

• 2 cups All-purpose flour
• 0.75 cup Granulated sugar
• 2 teaspoons Baking powder
• 0.25 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 cup Unsalted butter (melted and slightly cooled)
• 0.75 cup Whole milk
• 2 large Eggs
• 4 tablespoons Fresh lemon juice
• 1 tablespoon Lemon zest
• 2 teaspoons Fresh rosemary (finely chopped)
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 0.5 cup Powdered sugar (optional, for garnishing)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a standard 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.

Step 3

In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the melted butter, milk, eggs, lemon juice, lemon zest, and vanilla extract until well combined.

Step 4

Slowly pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, stirring just until combined. Be careful not to overmix, as this can result in dense muffins.

Step 5

Gently fold in the finely chopped rosemary, ensuring it is evenly distributed throughout the batter.

Step 6

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

Step 7

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

Step 8

Remove the muffins from the oven and allow them to cool in the pan for about 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 9

If desired, sift powdered sugar over the cooled muffins for a light, sweet topping before serving.

Step 10

Serve the Lemon Rosemary Muffins warm or at room temperature. Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or refrigerate for up to a week.
