If you’re looking for snacks you can batch make for kids’ lunchboxes then these Mini Lemon Muffins are an absolute must-try.
They’re honestly so easy to make. Everything is mixed together in one bowl and there’s an optional glaze for the top too. Which is worth the extra step in my opinion!
Start off by mixing the wet ingredients together in one bowl:
eggs
melted butter
greek yogurt
honey
vanilla
lemon juice and zest
Then add in self raising flour.
Don’t worry if you just have plain flour. You can add 1.5 teaspoon of baking powder and it will do the same job.
Add the mixture to a 24 hole mini muffin tray. This is the muffin tray I used in my recipe.
You can also use a mental mini muffin tray but you will need to grease it with some oil or butter before adding the mixture.
TOP TIP – Be sure to place the silicone muffin tray onto a metal tray before filling it. Otherwise it can be tricky to carry it to the oven!
Once cooked, remove the mini muffins from the tray and allow to cool on a rack.
If you want to add the glaze, mix the icing sugar and lemon together in a small bowl.
Then dip the mini muffins into the glaze, top side down.
Leave them back on the rack for a few minutes to allow the glaze to harden.
The glaze is totally optional but it helps to add more lemony flavour which is really delicious!
They will keep in an airtight container for up to 3 days and can also be frozen.
Freeze in a container or freezer bag (with or without the glaze). They will defrost at room temperature in a couple of hours so you can add them straight from the freezer into lunchboxes.
These make a fantastic healthier treat to add to lunch and snack boxes for school or nursery. Or even as an afternoon snack when the kids get home.

Healthier homemade mini muffins flavoured with lemon. Perfect to pop into lunchboxes or as an after school snack!
Ingredients
2 medium eggs
50g butter, melted
130g plain greek yogurt
50g honey
1 tsp vanilla extra

Instructions
Preheat the oven to 180c fan.
Add the eggs, melted butter, greek yogurt, honey, vanilla and lemon juice and zest to a large bowl and mix well.
If you are adding the glaze then hold back 1.5 tablespoon of the lemon juice.
Add in the flour and mix again until everything is well combined.
Add the mixture into the mini muffin tray, dividing equally between the 24 compartments. I used a silicone muffin tray so didn’t have to grease it but if you are using a metal one you will need to grease with a little butter or oil.
Bake in the oven for 16 minutes then remove the muffins and place on a rack to cool.
If you want to add the glaze then allow the muffins to cool completely first. Mix the lemon juice that you held back with the icing sugar together in a small bowl and dip the top of the muffins into the glaze.
Leave for a few minutes until the glaze has hardened.
Notes
These mini lemon muffins will keep in an airtight container for up to 3 days. They can also be frozen. Freeze in a container or freeze bag and defrost at room temperature in a couple of hours.
