Yield: approx. 12–15 large muffins | Prep Time: 15 mins | Bake Time: 15 mins

Ingredients

4 large eggs
1 cup (200g) raw cane sugar
2 cups (250g) all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons baking powder
1 cup (200g) neutral oil (such as sunflower or olive oil)
1 lemon (zest and juice, approx. 4 tablespoons)
Granulated sugar (for sprinkling on top)

Instructions

Prep: Preheat your oven to 480°F (250°C).

Whisk: Crack the eggs into a large bowl and add the 200g of sugar. Beat with a hand mixer or stand mixer on high speed for 5 to 6 minutes until pale and voluminous.

Dry Ingredients: Weigh the flour and mix it with 2 teaspoons of baking powder. Set aside.

Aromatics: Wash the lemon, then grate the zest. Squeeze the juice.

Mix Liquids: Add the oil, lemon juice, and zest to the egg mixture.

Combine: Turn your mixer to the lowest speed and very slowly add the flour and baking powder mixture until just combined.

Fill: Place paper liners into a muffin tin. Fill the liners using a tablespoon or a piping bag. Fill them nearly to the brim if you want very large “muffin tops.”
