How to Make Honey Lemon Muffins

Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners.
In a large bowl, whisk together 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour, ½ cup powdered milk, 2 teaspoons baking powder, and ½ teaspoon salt. Zest one lemon and add the zest to the dry ingredients.
In a separate bowl, gently heat ¼ cup honey with ¼ cup hot water until the honey is completely dissolved. Set aside to cool slightly.
In a medium bowl, whisk together 1 large egg, the cooled honey mixture, and ¼ cup melted unsalted butter.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix.
Fill each muffin liner about ¾ full. Bake for 18-20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. If the tops start to brown too quickly, tent with foil.
Let the muffins cool in the tin for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely. Enjoy!
