Ingredients
Instructions
-
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a muffin tin with paper liners or grease with non-stick cooking spray.
-
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt until well combined.
-
In a separate bowl, beat the eggs and melted butter together until smooth. Add in the buttermilk, lemon zest, lemon juice, and vanilla extract. Mix until well combined.
-
Gradually pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, stirring gently until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; a few lumps in the batter are okay.
-
Spoon the batter into the prepared muffin tin, filling each cup about two-thirds full.
-
Bake the muffins in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.
-
Once baked, remove the muffins from the oven and allow them to cool in the tin for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
-
If desired, dust the cooled muffins with powdered sugar for an extra touch of sweetness and a decorative finish.
-
Serve these luscious lemon muffins warm with a cup of tea or coffee for a delightful treat that will brighten your day!
