Servings: 12 muffins
Calories: 213kcal
Ingredients
- 2 cups All Purpose Flour
- 3/4 cups Granulated Sugar
- 2 tsp Baking Powder
- 1/2 tsp Kosher Salt
- 2 Eggs
- 1/2 cup Milk
- 1/2 cup Unsalted Butter melted and cooled
- 1/2 cup Lemon Juice
- 1 tbsp Lemon Zest
- 1 tsp Vanilla Extract
Instructions
- Prep the Ingredients. Preheat your oven to 375°F and line a muffin tin with paper liners. Zest and juice the lemons, ensuring you get fresh, vibrant citrus flavor.
- Mix the Dry Ingredients. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt.
- Combine the Wet Ingredients. In another bowl, whisk the eggs, milk, melted butter, lemon juice, lemon zest, and vanilla extract until well blended.
- Make the Batter. Gradually mix the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, stirring until just combined (do not overmix, or the muffins will be dense).
- Bake to Perfection. Fill the muffin cups about 3/4 full with batter. Bake for 18-22 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Let the muffins cool in the pan for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack.
- Add the Lemon Glaze (Optional). In a small bowl, whisk together powdered sugar and lemon juice until smooth. Drizzle over the cooled muffins and sprinkle with lemon zest.
