Yogurt Honey Muffins

*I discovered this recipe as an attempt to use up extra yogurt I had.

4 tbsp. butter
5 tbsp. thin honey
1 cup plain yogurt
1 large egg
grated rind of 1 lemon
1/4 cup fresh lemon juice
1 cup all purpose flour
1 cup whole wheat flour
1 1/2 tsp. baking soda
1/8 tsp. grated nutmeg

1. Preheat oven to 375
2. In a saucepan, melt butter and hone. Remove from heat and set aside to cool slightly.
3. In a bowl, whisk together the yogurt, egg, lemon rind and juice. Add butter and honey mixture.
4. In another bowl, sift together dry ingredients.
5. Fold dry into yogurt mixture just to blend. Add to muffin cups.
6. Bake 20-25 minutes. Let cool in pan 5 minutes. Serve warm or at room temp.

You can also add 1/2 cup of chopped walnuts, folded in with the flour.
