Instructions

  5. Pour wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir gently until just combined. Do not overmix.
  6. Gently fold in chia seeds.
  7. Spoon batter into prepared muffin cups, filling each about two-thirds full.
  8. Bake for 18-22 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
  9. Let muffins cool in the tin for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
  10. While muffins cool, whisk together powdered sugar and lemon juice for the glaze until smooth. Adjust consistency as needed.
  11. Once muffins are completely cool, drizzle with lemon glaze.
