  • 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
  • 1 tablespoon lemon zest
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a muffin tin with cupcake liners.
  2. In a bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
  3. In another bowl, beat eggs and sugar until light and fluffy.
  4. Add Greek yogurt, oil, lemon juice, lemon zest, and vanilla extract, mixing until smooth.
  5. Gradually fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture until just combined.
  6. Divide batter evenly among cupcake liners.

Notes

  • Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days or refrigerate for longer freshness.
  • You can substitute whole wheat flour for half of the all-purpose flour for a denser texture.
