Ingredients

Muffin Ingredients

  • 1 cup flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/4 teaspoon sea salt
  • 1/2 cup coconut oil melted
  • 2 eggs large
  • 2 tablespoons coconut palm sugar
  • 1/4 cup honey raw
  • 1 cup Greek yogurt low-fat
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 3 tablespoons lemon juice freshly squeezed
  • 1 teaspoon lemon zest

Optional Glaze

  • 2 tablespoons powdered sugar organic
  • 2 teaspoons lemon juice freshly squeezed
  • 1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/2 teaspoon lemon zest

Instructions

For Muffins

  • Preheat the oven to 350°F. Spray a 12-cup muffin tin with nonstick cooking spray and set aside.
  • In a large mixing bowl, sift together flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt and set aside.
  • In another large mixing bowl, whisk together coconut oil and eggs until a smooth consistency. Add coconut palm sugar, raw honey, and Greek yogurt and mix again. Add vanilla extract, lemon juice, and lemon zest and whisk well.
  • Add dry ingredients to the mixture. Using a spatula, fold them in together until smooth. Divide the batter between muffin tins and bake at 350°F for 18-20 minutes or until a toothpick inserted comes out clean. Take it out and set on a wire rack to cool off. Enjoy!

For Optional Glaze

  • Combine all glaze ingredients together and mix well. If needed, adjust powdered sugar and lemon juice for desired consistency. Glaze should easily drizzle off of a spoon or fork. Once consistency is reached, drizzle over slightly warm muffins.
