If you have recently purchased Chia Seeds, because I have heard such great things about them but have been wondering what do to with them, then try out these muffins! The perfect thing to test them out. You can’t really even taste them. The glaze on top is light and has great lemon flavor to go with the muffins. You could omit the glaze if you are trying to be a little healthier, but it is just so good!

Super moist and light lemon muffins with chia seeds. Made with Greek yogurt.
Ingredients
- 2 cups flour
- 3 Tbls chia seeds
- 1 tsp baking powder
- ¼ tsp baking soda
- ½ tsp salt
- 8 Tbls butter, softened
- 1 cup sugar

Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Prepare 12 cup muffin tin with non stock spray or liners.

Bake for 18-20 minutes, until a tester comes out clean. Allow the muffins to cool in the pan for a few minutes, before removing to a wire rack.
