These light and wholesome Lemon Chia Seed Muffins are the perfect treats for weekend mornings, breakfast on the go, or an afternoon snack when you crave something sweet. I love the light-lemon classic flavor, but I’m a little crazy about chia seeds.

Cooking Instructions
1.
Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
2.
In a large bowl, combine the All-Purpose Flour (1 3/4 cups), Granulated Sugar (1/2 cup), Chia Seeds (3 Tbsp), zest from Lemon (1), Baking Powder (1 tsp), Baking Soda (1 tsp), and Salt (1/2 tsp).
3.
In a small bowl, slowly heat the Lard (1/3 cup) in a microwave in 5-second increments. Brush the bottom, sides, and edges of each muffin tin with some of the melted lard. Set the lard aside and let it cool.
4.
In a medium-sized bowl, whisk the Sour Cream (1 cup), Farmhouse Eggs® Large Brown Egg (1), 1 Tbsp Lemon Juice, Vanilla Bean Paste (1 tsp), and melted lard until creamy.
5.
Fold the wet mixture into the dry mixture and stir until lightly moistened. Do not over stir. If the batter is too dry, add Milk (3 Tbsp).
6.
Evenly spoon the muffin batter into the prepared muffin tins. Bake for 18 minutes, until golden brown and a toothpick inserted in the middle comes clean.
7.
Cool for 1 minute in the pan on a wire cooling rack. Carefully remove the muffins and continue cooling on the rack.
8.
Stir together the remaining 2 Tbsp Lemon Juice, Vanilla Bean Paste (1/2 tsp), and Powdered Confectioners Sugar (1/2 cup) until smooth. Drizzle the glaze over the muffins.
9.
Serve and enjoy!
