Ingredients

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup whole milk
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1/4 cup fresh lemon juice
  • Zest of 2 lemons
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Lemon Glaze (optional)

  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
  • 1 teaspoon lemon zest

How to Make Zesty Lemon Dream Muffins

  1. Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a muffin tin with paper liners.
  2. Mix the Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt.
  3. Combine Wet Ingredients: In another bowl, whisk together the milk, melted butter, eggs, lemon juice, lemon zest, and vanilla extract.
  4. Combine Wet and Dry Ingredients: Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Do not overmix; the batter should be slightly lumpy.
  5. Fill the Muffin Tins: Divide the batter evenly among the muffin cups, filling each about 2/3 full.
  6. Bake: Bake for 18-20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.
  7. Cool and Glaze: Allow the muffins to cool in the tin for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely. If desired, drizzle with lemon glaze by mixing powdered sugar, lemon juice, and lemon zest until smooth.

Tips

  • Lemon Juice: Use fresh lemon juice for the best flavor.
  • Do Not Overmix: Overmixing can lead to dense muffins. Stir until just combined.
  • Glaze: For a thicker glaze, add more powdered sugar; for a thinner glaze, add more lemon juice.
