Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Line muffin pan with parchment muffin liners. (These are my favorite liners to use, they don't bleed color and work so well)
- In large bowl whisk together flours, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
- First melt your butter. Then add to a large bowl butter and honey. Whisk till combined.
- Add yogurt, eggs, lemon zest, lemon juice, extracts and whisk till smooth.
- In bowl with dry ingredients, make a well in the center and pour in wet ingredients. Mix with a spatula or wooden spoon. Stir just till mixture is combined.
- Fold in chia seeds. (Your batter will be thick)
- Divide mixture evenly into muffin liners.
- Bake for 18-22 minute or until tooth pick inserted comes out clean.
- While cooling add powdered sugar and lemon juice to small bowl. Whisk until smooth. Pour over cooled muffins.
- Serve and ENJOY!
