These bright and citrusy muffins are infused with the warmth of fresh ginger and a hint of lemon zest. Perfect for a morning pick-me-up or as a sweet treat any time of day.

Ingredients

  • 2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
  • 2 large eggs
  • 2 tablespoons freshly squeezed lemon juice
  • 1 tablespoon grated fresh ginger
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • Zest of 1 lemon

Instructions

Step 1: Preheat and Prep

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners.

Step 2: Mix the Dry Ingredients

In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.

Step 3: Combine the Wet Ingredients

In a large bowl, combine melted butter, eggs, lemon juice, grated ginger, vanilla extract, and lemon zest. Whisk until well combined.

Step 4: Add Dry to Wet

Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, whisking until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.

Divide the batter evenly among the muffin cups. Bake for 18-20 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.

Tips
