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
• 0.5 cup Milk
• 0.5 cup Greek yogurt
• 2 large Eggs
• 0.25 cup Fresh lemon juice
• 2 tablespoons Lemon zest
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 1 cup Powdered sugar
• 2 tablespoons Fresh lemon juice (for glaze)

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 with nonstick spray.

Step 2

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

Step 3

In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the melted butter, milk, Greek yogurt, eggs, 1/4 cup of fresh lemon juice, lemon zest, and vanilla extract until smooth.

Step 4

Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and gently fold them together with a spatula until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; the batter should be slightly lumpy.

Step 5

Divide the batter evenly among the prepared 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

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

Step 8

While the muffins are cooling, prepare the glaze by whisking together the powdered sugar and 2 tablespoons of fresh lemon juice in a small bowl until smooth.

Step 9

Drizzle the lemon glaze over the cooled muffins and let it set for about 10 minutes before serving.

Step 10

Enjoy these tangy and sweet Lotta Lemon Muffins with a cup of tea or coffee!
