Ingredients
- 9 oz all-purpose flour plain flour (2 cups
- 6 oz sugar ¾ cup, granulated white
- 4 oz neutral cooking oil see post for best oil choices. ½ cup, generic cooking oil
- 2 egg
- 2 lemon plural
- 1 oz powdered sugar

- ½ tsp baking soda
- 8 oz Greek yogurt 1 cup, lemon flavored

Instructions
Making the Lemon Muffins
- Add granulated sugar, oil and egg to a bowl and mix together until blended
- Grate in the lemon peel and add lemon yogurt and mix.
- Sift the flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt into the bowl.
- Stir in the flour mixture and blend together for a few minutes. Small lumps are fine, do not over mix the batter.
- Scoop muffin batter evenly between 12 paper liners in a cupcake tin and place in a pre heated 350 degrees F. / 180 degrees C. oven.
- Remove the muffins from the oven when they are golden brown, and spring back when their centers are pressed. Also use a thin metal or wood skewer to insert into the center of the muffin. If the skewer feels dry, then the muffins are ready.
Cup of Yum
Making the Drizzle
- Sift the powdered sugar and squeeze in the juice of the lemons.
- Mix the sugar and juice well. Continue stirring if lumps of sugar are still noticeable.
- Pour the drizzle over each muffin. Alternatively, dip the muffins into the bowl of drizzle.
Notes
- Makes 12 generous muffins. I used cupcake liners, not muffin liners.
