mixing lemon vanilla chia muffins

In a large bowl, add all the dry ingredients and the sugar and lemon zest. Stir to incorporate and then add the egg, lemon juice, butter and half of the buttermilk. Give it a few stirs, being sure to scoop around the edges and the bottom to bring up the dry bits. This will help you see how much more liquid you need so your batter doesn’t end up too runny. Just be sure not to over mix or the muffins will be rubbery and dense.

baking the muffins

Scoop muffin batter into a muffin tin with liners or oiled pretty good. This recipe will make 6 large muffins or 12 cupcake size. Top the muffins with a sprinkle of granulated sugar and some chia seeds. Bake at 350 degrees for 20-25 minutes until a little golden on top and a toothpick in the center comes out clean. Let cool for a few before devouring.
