Ingredients

• 2 cups All-purpose flour
• 1.5 teaspoons Baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoon Baking soda
• 0.25 teaspoon Salt
• 0.75 cup Granulated sugar
• 1 tablespoon Lemon zest
• 0.5 cup Lemon juice
• 1 cup Non-fat plain Greek yogurt
• 2 large Egg whites
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 0.25 cup Unsweetened applesauce

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners or lightly grease with cooking spray.

Step 2

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

Step 3

In another bowl, combine the sugar and lemon zest. Use your fingers to rub them together until the mixture is fragrant and well-mixed.

Step 4

Add the lemon juice, Greek yogurt, egg whites, vanilla extract, and applesauce to the sugar and zest mixture. Whisk until everything is well combined.

Step 5

Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and mix gently with a spatula just until no more streaks of flour remain. Be careful not to overmix to ensure fluffy muffins.

Step 6

Divide the batter evenly among the prepared muffin cups, filling each about three-quarters 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 let them cool in the tin for about 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 9

Enjoy your low-fat lemon muffins as a healthy snack or breakfast treat!
