Instructions

  1. 1

  3. 3

    In a medium bowl, whisk together the yogurt, avocado oil, honey, milk, eggs, lemon zest, and vanilla.

  4. 4

    Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and mix until just combined. Divide the batter evenly into the prepared pan.

  5. 5

    Bake 20-22 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

  6. 6

    Once the muffins are completely cooled. Mix the powdered sugar and lemon juice until smooth and drizzle over muffins if desired.
