Lemon Yogurt Muffins

INGREDIENTS

1/4 cup fresh-squeezed lemon juice

3/4 cup milk

2 cups all-purpose flour

1/2 cup sugar (I used Stevia)

2 1/2 teaspoons baking powder

1/2 teaspoon salt

1/4 cup butter, melted (I omitted totally)

1 egg, slightly beaten

1/2 cup lemon yogurt

1 teaspoon lemon zest

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

2 tablespoons melted butter

sugar (I sprinkled with Stevia)

Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Grease a mini muffin pan (I just used a regular-sized one). In a large mixing bowl whisk together flour, sugar, baking powder and salt. In a separate large bowl stir together milk, lemon juice, 1/4 cup butter, egg, yogurt, lemon zest and vanilla (don’t worry if it looks clumpy or curdled). Make a well in center of dry ingredients and add wet, stir just to combine. Spoon batter or use an ice cream scoop to fill muffin pan. Bake 12-14 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean (Even making the larger muffins, they were done in 15 minutes).

Cool pans on wire racks 5 minutes, then turn out and brush tops with melted butter. Dip or roll in sugar while still warm. Best eaten immediately. If they cool off and become sticky roll in sugar again.
