Ingredients

1 cup - All purpose flour
1 cup - Whole wheat flour
⅔ cup - Sugar
2 teaspoons - Baking powder
¼ tsp - Baking soda
¼ tsp - Salt
1 - Orange
¾ cup - Plain Greek yogurt
2 - Eggs
1 tsp - Vanilla extract
⅛ tsp - Lemon extract
8 tablespoons - Unsalted butter

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 400℉.
Whisk the dry ingredients together, including the orange zest, in a large bowl.
In a separate bowl, whisk the wet ingredients together.
Pour the wet ingredients over the dry ingredients and gently but quickly stir it all together. A few lumps are okay but don’t overmix.
Scoop batter into a greased muffin tin or into liners in a muffin pan. Bake for 18 to 20 minutes until muffins are golden. Cool for 5 minutes and then turn out onto a wire rack to finish cooling.
I store these with no liners in the freezer in a Ziploc bag. They reheat well in the microwave or just when left out to thaw.
