1 ½ tsp baking powder: This leavening agent helps the muffins rise beautifully.
½ tsp salt: Enhances flavor and balances the sweetness.
½ cup unsalted butter (melted): Richness and moisture come from the melted butter.
2 large eggs: Provides structure and binds the ingredients together.
½ cup milk: Adds moisture and helps create a soft texture.
2 tbsp lemon juice: Brightens the flavor and adds acidity.
1 tbsp lemon zest: Intensifies the lemon flavor for that extra zing.
1 tsp vanilla extract: A hint of vanilla complements the lemon perfectly.
For the Lemon Glaze:
1 cup powdered sugar: Sweetens the glaze and gives it a luscious texture.
2-3 tbsp lemon juice: Adds a zesty kick that ties the glaze to the muffins.
