Make a batch of these quick and easy Lemon Chia Seed Mini Muffins today. These tiny, bite-sized muffins are filled with lemon flavor and a light, barely there crunch of chia seeds.
Preheat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit and butter or grease mini muffin pan. Set aside.
In a large bowl, whisk together flour, chia seeds, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
In a separate bowl, add sugar, egg, milk, butter, and lemon zest. Mix until fully combined. Add wet mixture to dry mixture and stir until just combined.
Fill mini muffin tins halfway with batter. Bake for about 12-14 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the middle comes out clean (or with crumbs, not batter). Or, gently press into the top of a muffin. If it springs back right away, your muffins are done.
Allow pan to cool for 5 minutes before removing muffins from pan. If needed, use a butter knife around the edges of the pan to loosen your muffins. Allow to cool completely before storing in a sealed container.
