Equipment

  • muffin tin

Ingredients

  • ½ cup olive oil
  • ½ cup agave syrup
  • ¾ cup Greek yogurt
  • 2 large eggs
  • zest of one lemon
  • 2 tablespoons lemon juice
  • 1 and ¾ cups all purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • ½ teaspoon baking soda
  • ¼ teaspoon salt

Lemon Glaze

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Line muffin tin with paper liners.
  • In a large mixing bowl add the olive oil, agave syrup, Greek yogurt and eggs. Mix together well and add the lemon zest and lemon juice.
  • Add the flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt. Mix until now white streaks of flour remain, being careful to not over mix the batter.
  • Portion the batter into the muffin cups, filling about ¾ full.
  • Bake in preheated oven for 15-17 minutes. Because all ovens are a bit different check early and use a toothpick to check for doneness. Muffins are finished baking when a toothpick comes out clean with no wet crumbs.
  • Allow muffins to cool in pan for 5 minutes and then transfer to a wire rack when cool enough to handle.
  • When muffins are cool mix the glaze ingredients and drizzle over the muffins.
  • Store at room temperature for 2-3 days in an airtight container.

Lemon Glaze

  • Add powdered sugar, lemon zest and 1 tablespoon lemon juice. Stir until the powdered sugar dissolves. For a thinner glaze add more lemon juice to reach desired constancy.
  • Drizzle over cooled muffins.

Notes

Freeze unglazed muffins by wrapping individually in plastic wrap and placing in a large freezer bag for up to 3 months.
