These lemon muffins get a trip dose of lemony flavor thanks to the juice, zest, and lemon-flavored yogurt that is used in the batter. These are great on their own and even better when served with the homemade strawberry sauce. Yogurt is an excellent addition to baked goods as it adds a tangy flavor and its acidity reacts with the baking soda to encourage leavening. When making muffins, you want to bake the muffins very soon after adding the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients. This is because the wet ingredients activate the baking soda and baking powder. If you let the batter sit too long, the muffins won’t rise to their full potential.
