How to Make Lotta Lemon Muffins

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
  3. In a separate bowl, whisk together the sugar, eggs, oil, yogurt, and lemon zest.
  4. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix.
  5. Stir in the lemon juice.
  6. Fill each muffin liner about 2/3 full.
  7. Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  8. Let the muffins cool in the tin for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
  9. Enjoy! These are best served fresh but can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
