Ingredients

The following ingredients have 4 Servings
  • 1 cup plain Greek yogurt
  • 1 1/2 tablespoons lemon zest
  • 3/4 cups sugar
  • 3 large eggs
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 1/2 cup vegetable oil
  • 1 1/2 cups all purpose flour
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1 1/2 cups red currants

Instruction

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Prepare a 12-hole muffin tin by coating the cavities with non-stick cooking spray. Set aside.
  • In a large mixing bowl, use a hand-held mixer to beat together the yogurt, sugar, and lemon zest until well mixed.
  • Add the vegetable oil, vanilla extract, and eggs. On low speed beat until well incorporated.
  • Add the flour, baking powder, and salt. Mix just until the flour is incorporated.
  • Add the red currents and fold into the batter with a rubber spatula.
  • Evenly distribute the batter into the 12 muffin pan holes.
  • Bake for 20 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.
  • Remove from oven and allow the muffins to cool in the muffin tin for 15 minutes. Turn the muffins out onto a wire cooling rack to finish cooling.
