Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the gluten-free all-purpose flour, almond flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.

In another bowl, whisk together the granulated sugar, melted butter, eggs, lemon zest, fresh lemon juice, and vanilla extract until smooth.

Step 4

Add the Greek yogurt to the wet ingredients and continue whisking until well combined.

Step 5

Gradually mix the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, stirring just until incorporated. Be careful not to overmix.

Step 6

Divide the batter evenly among the prepared muffin cups, filling each about three-quarters full.

Step 7

Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.

Step 8

Remove the muffins from the oven and let them cool in the pan for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 9

For the glaze, whisk together the powdered sugar and lemon juice in a small bowl until smooth.

Step 10

Once the muffins are completely cooled, drizzle the lemon glaze over the top of each muffin before serving.
