Number Of Ingredients 9

2 1/2 cups (350g) self raising flour
3/4 cup (150g) caster sugar
Zest of 1 large lemon
1/4 cup (60ml) lemon juice
1 cup (240g) fat free yoghurt, (I used Greek as it was all I had)
1/2 cup (120ml) vegetable oil
2 large eggs
1 tsp vanilla extract
6 tbsp lemon curd

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 190C/375F and grease a 12 hole muffin tin.
  • Place the flour, sugar and lemon zest into a large bowl and stir until just combined.
  • Place the lemon juice, yoghurt, vegetable oil, eggs and vanilla extract into a jug and beat lightly.
  • Pour wet into dry and mix by hand until just combined and there are no lumps of flour - don't be tempted to overmix your batter otherwise you'll have rubbery muffins!
  • Fill each muffin hole half way and then place 1/2tbsp of lemon curd into each muffin hole, pressing it into the batter ever so slightly.
  • Top each muffin with the remaining batter, each hole should be filled level.
  • Place in the oven for 15-20 minutes until risen, golden around the edges and an inserted skewer into the centre comes out clean.
  • Leave to cool in the pan for at least 10 minutes, before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
  • Once cooled, muffins will keep in an airtight container, at room temperature for 4 days.
