Lemon Yogurt Muffins


  • Total Time: 35 minutes
  • Yield: 12 muffins 1x

Description

Delightfully moist and tangy lemon yogurt muffins, perfect for breakfast or a light snack. These muffins combine the fresh zest and juice of lemons with creamy yogurt for a tender crumb and bright flavor.


Ingredients

Scale

2 cups (250 grams) all-purpose flour
1/2 cup (100 grams) granulated sugar
2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 cup (240 grams) plain Greek yogurt
1/2 cup (120 ml) vegetable oil
2 large eggs
1 tablespoon lemon zest (from about 2 lemons)
2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
1 teaspoon vanilla extract


Instructions

Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners or grease the cups.
In a large bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt until well combined.
In a separate medium bowl, whisk the plain Greek yogurt, vegetable oil, eggs, lemon zest, lemon juice, and vanilla extract until smooth.
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and gently fold together with a spatula until just combined. Do not overmix; the batter should be slightly lumpy.
Divide the batter evenly among the 12 muffin cups, filling each about 3/4 full.
Bake in the preheated oven for 18 to 20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.
Remove the muffins from the oven and allow them to cool in the pan for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
