Delightful and moist eggless lemon muffins with a zesty citrus flavor, perfect for breakfast or a light snack.
2 cups all-purpose flour
1 cup granulated sugar
1 tablespoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 cup plain yogurt
1/2 cup vegetable oil
1/2 cup milk
1 tablespoon lemon zest
1/4 cup fresh lemon juice
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners or grease the cups.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt until well combined.
In a separate bowl, combine the plain yogurt, vegetable oil, milk, lemon zest, fresh lemon juice, and vanilla extract. Mix well.
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and gently fold together using a spatula until just combined. Do not overmix; the batter should be slightly lumpy.
Divide the batter evenly among the prepared muffin cups, filling each about 3/4 full.
Bake in the preheated oven for 18 to 20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.
Remove the muffins from the oven and let them cool in the tin for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
