Using a manual whisk, beat the eggs with the sugar until they are nice and fluffy, add the oil, the grated lemon zest, and juice, and mix, then add the yogurt and finally the sifted flour with the baking powder.
Place the paper liners in the muffin tin, pour the mixture into the liners but do not fill to the top, keep in mind that they will rise a lot during baking.
