LIME AND YOGHURT MUFFINS

My latest creation is these Lime and Yoghurt Muffins; you can make them on a Sunday evening and then have your breakfast for the week sorted!

These muffins are soft, full of flavour and totally delicious. I added the zest of 2 limes to the mixture and used yoghurt in lieu of milk (I usually use milk in my muffin batter) – the yoghurt means these muffins are SOFT. Incredibly so!

Ingredients
For the muffins:

• 1 cup (200g) white/caster sugar
• 2 large eggs
• Zest of 2 limes
• 1 stick (113g) unsalted butter, melted and slightly cooled
• 2 1/2 cups (350g) plain/all-purpose flour
• 1 tsp bicarbonate of soda/baking soda
• 1 tsp baking powder
• Pinch of salt
• 1 cup (260g) low fat natural yoghurt, you can use 0% fat too

For the glaze (optional):

• 1/2 cup (60g) icing/powdered sugar
• 2 tbsp lime juice
• Lime zest to garnish

Instructions

1. Preheat the oven to 180C/350F and line a 12 hole muffin tin with liners.
2. Place the sugar, eggs and lime zest into a large bowl and whisk until smooth and there are no lumps.
3. Gradually add in the melted butter, whisking while you do this, until everything is smooth and well combined. 
4. Add in the flour, bicarbonate of soda, baking powder and salt and whisk until the mixture starts to come together, then add the yoghurt and continue to whisk until there are no lumps of flour and you have a smooth, well combined batter.
