Honey Lemon Chia Seed Muffins

Ingredients

  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup whole wheat flour
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1 tablespoon chia seeds
  • 1/2 cup milk (or non-dairy alternative)
  • 1/4 cup honey
  • 1/4 cup vegetable oil
  • 1 large egg
  • Grated zest of 1 lemon
  • 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a muffin tin with paper liners.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, whole wheat flour, sugar, baking powder, salt, and chia seeds. Mix well to ensure that the dry ingredients are fully combined.
  3. In a separate bowl, whisk together the milk, honey, vegetable oil, egg, lemon zest, and lemon juice until well mixed.
  4. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; it’s okay if there are a few lumps.
  5. Spoon the batter into the prepared muffin tin, filling each cup about two-thirds full.
  6. Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.
  7. Once baked, remove the muffins from the oven and let them cool in the pan for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
  8. Enjoy your Honey Lemon Chia Seed Muffins warm with a drizzle of honey or on their own!

These muffins not only make for a delicious snack but also offer a refreshing taste that’s perfect for any occasion. We hope you enjoy making and eating these delightful treats as much as we do!
