Instructions
Step 1
Place a rack in the center of your oven and preheat the oven to 350°F. Lightly coat a standard 12-cup muffin tin with nonstick spray.
Step 2
Cut the butter into a few pieces and place in a medium microwave-safe bowl. Heat in the microwave for 30 seconds, then continue heating in 15-second bursts, just until it melts. Set aside to cool. (Alternatively, you can melt the butter in a heatproof bowl placed over a large saucepan of simmering water.)
Step 3
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the white whole wheat flour, all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt.
Step 4
To the bowl with the butter, add the honey and whisk to combine. Add the Greek yogurt, eggs, lemon zest, lemon juice, vanilla extract and almond extract and whisk until smooth.
Step 5
Make a well in the center of the dry ingredients. Pour the wet ingredients into the well, then with a wooden spoon or spatula, gently stir to combine, stopping as soon as the flour disappears.
Step 6
Fold in the chia seeds. The batter will be thick.
Step 7
Scoop the batter into the 12 muffin wells, dividing evenly among the cups (they will be about three-fourths of the way full). Bake for 18-22 minutes, until barely golden, a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean, and the tops spring back lightly when touched.
Step 8
Set the pan on a cooling rack and let the muffins cool in the pan for 5 minutes. With a dull knife, gently loosen the muffins, then carefully transfer them to the rack to finish cooling completely.
