How to Make Lemon Muffins Made With Splenda

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners or grease the cups.
  2. Wash and thoroughly dry one lemon.
  3. Cut the lemon into quarters and remove all seeds.
  4. Using a food processor or blender, finely grind the lemon quarters for 1-2 minutes until completely pureed.
  5. Scrape the lemon puree into a small bowl and set aside.
  6. In a large bowl, cream together 1/2 cup (1 stick) softened unsalted butter with 1 cup Splenda Granulated Sweetener using a mixer fitted with a paddle attachment for 1 minute, scraping down the sides.
  7. Add 2 large egg whites and beat on medium speed for 1 minute.
  8. Add 1 teaspoon vanilla extract and beat for 30 seconds.
  9. In a separate bowl, whisk together 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon baking powder, 1/2 teaspoon baking soda, and 1/4 teaspoon salt.
  10. Gradually add 1/3 of the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined.
  11. Add 1/2 cup plain yogurt and mix until incorporated.
  12. Add the remaining dry ingredients and mix until just combined.
  13. Gently fold in the lemon puree.
  14. Fill the prepared muffin cups about 2/3 full.
  15. Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  16. Let cool in the muffin tin for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
  17. Enjoy these delicious muffins warm or at room temperature. Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or freeze for up to 3 weeks.
