After making Karen's Blueberry Yogurt Muffins (#86105) more times than I can remember, the recipe took on a whole new life today! This new recipe is what happened ...and my will-power has been non-existent, as usual! If you want more lemon, use any or all of these options: Use ALL the juice from the lemon in the batter (just make certain juices total 1/4 C.), use lemon yogurt, add lemon extract or flavoring, after muffins have cooled-make a glaze using lemon juice. I think there's no such thing as too much lemon! (I didn't measure the zest...I just used every bit I could scrape off one lemon! I used the juice from one half but will use ALL the juice next time. I squeezed it into the measuring cup and topped it off with orange/peach/mango juice. A nice tart kick!) Let me know what options you try!
Ingredients:
2 eggs
1 cup low-fat plain yogurt
1 tablespoon lemon zest
1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
3 tablespoons orange juice
1/4 cup butter, melted
2 1/4 cups flour
3/4 cup sugar
2 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
1/8 teaspoon salt

3. Combine dry ingredients and add to yogurt mixture.
4. Fold together until all the dry ingredients are incorporated.
5. Fill muffin cups equally and bake for 22-25 minutes.
