Delicious Lemon Muffins Recipe for a Bright Breakfast

Ingredients

Servings:
12
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 cup butter (melted)
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 cup milk
  • 1 cup fresh lemon juice
  • 1 teaspoon lemon zest
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup powdered sugar (for glaze (optional))

Instructions

7 steps

  1. Preheat Oven

    Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a muffin tin with paper liners.

    Ensure the oven is fully preheated for even baking.
  2. Mix Dry Ingredients

    In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt.

    Sifting the flour can help avoid lumps.
  3. Combine Wet Ingredients

    In another bowl, beat the eggs, then add melted butter, milk, lemon juice, and lemon zest. Mix well.

    Use fresh lemon juice for the best flavor.
  4. Combine Mixtures

    Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Do not overmix.

    Batter should be slightly lumpy.
  5. Fill Muffin Tin

    Spoon the batter into the prepared muffin tin, filling each cup about 2/3 full.

    Leave space for the muffins to rise.
  6. Bake

    Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until a toothpick comes out clean.

    Check the muffins a minute or two before the timer goes off.
  7. Cool and Glaze (Optional)

    Allow muffins to cool in the tin for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack. Optionally, drizzle with a powdered sugar glaze.

    A glaze adds a nice finishing touch.
