Starting today, and for the next while, I will be doing a series of recipe posts called “Manic Muffin Monday” As you probably have guessed, every Monday, a new muffin recipe will be posted! Today, it’s an easy recipe for Lemon Muffins!
Lemon Muffins
6 TBSP. Butter
1 Cup White Sugar
2 Eggs
1 1/2 Cups White Flour
1/2 Cup Milk
Grated zest of 1 1/2 Lemons
1/4 tsp. Salt
1 1/2 tsp. Baking Powder
Topping:
Juice of 1 1/2 Lemons
1/3 Cup White Sugar
Preheat oven to 400 farenheit. Grease muffin tins, set aside. In a bowl, cream together butter, sugar and eggs. Add in flour, milk, lemon zest, salt and baking powder, mix well. Spoon batter into the greased muffin tins, filling them 3/4 full. Bake in preheated oven for 15-20 minutes. Meanwhile, combine the lemon juice and sugar in a bowl. When muffins are baked, prick the tops with a fork, and drizzle topping over each muffin!
This site has the absolute best muffins ever ! I don’t even look in my cook books any more …I go straight to catcancook! 🙂
i been looking for a lemon muffin recipe. this was the best lemon muffin i ever had.
I made these last night, we have none this morning! SOOOOOOOOOO tasty!
These are great. I’ve been baking your muffins for a while & these were moist & yummy!!!!
I like to add 1 cup green ( sour) gooseberries.YUM!!
I’m a complete novice when it comes to baking – but these were not only simple & quick, but tasted FABULOUS! My hubby couldn’t help himself – he ate two before dinnertime! Thanks – I’ll be trying some more of your recipes soon!
Love this recipe. I add a cup of raspberries– makes them even better and so pretty!
these are the best me and my mum were having a cook off and we needed to use lemons and everything else was so hard but this was easy so thx oh and i won !!!! yah
I made these yesterday evening after finding your website, they are delicious!! I’ll for sure make them again!
I think this can easily become one of my favorite recipe sites . Good job, they’re so simple to try!
These muffins were great, the glaze is what makes them have a great fresh lemon taste! I will be making them again and again!
my first time ever really baking lol and i loved it!!! i was so scared i was going to burn them or something lol but i will defintly be making these again!!!
lemon is the best
Just made these muffins, and they are delicious.. However, I did add some extra touches such as a few drops of lemon juice (half a lemon) into the mix as I love a very lemony taste. Also when putting the muffin mixture in the tray I paused half way to add a tablespoon of warmed lemon curd (I used store bought Barkers, heated in the microwave).. and a table spoon of cream cheese! I moulded the the cream cheese into little disks ontop of the curd..then I poured on the other half of the muffin mix! Still had sugar syrup topping too, so you can imagine how rich these are. Delicious little treats though, only one needed!! 🙂
These muffins were amazing! They were incredibly soft and moist and super lemony! The drizzle just added a little more oomph to the taste, sort of making it a bit sweeter. They were absolutely phenomenal! Best lemon muffin recipe i’ve ever made!
ummmmmmm sorta forgot to add self raising flour so were quite rubbery…. silly me 😀
My family LOVE it when I bake these muffins. Thank you so much for sharing this easy but very yummy recipe 🙂 Love it!!
Eating them as I write this. Terrific recipe! Definitely making it mine go-to lemon muffins recipe! Thank you!
These muffins are delicious! Thanks so much for sharing 🙂
SOOOOoooooo good! I just made a slight alteration, instead of using 1.5 lemons for zesting I used 2 (why waste :P) and I put the juice from 1 of the lemons into the mixture after I added the eggs. And for the lemon sauce to pour over the top I only used 1 lemon, which was more than enough. If you use too much of the lemon sauce over the muffins they will become too stodgey and fall apart, so 1 lemon is enough if its a big one :). Made 14 decent sized muffins, very moist and flavourful but not too overpowering!
These were perect, I have been looking for a lemon muffin/ or could make into a cupcake. so good! Thank you
I made these and they are amazing… Instead of using regular sugar to make the glaze I opted to use powder sugar and made a lemon glaze with the juice of one lemon which was plenty. Also made these with oranges and YUM!!! thanks for the easy recipe
Yummy Lemon Muffins!! Kinda small though, might double the recipe for dozen next time but what an awesome recipe !! Thank u : )
These are my most requested muffin. I double the recipe and use 4 large lemons worth zest. I also throw in a couple handfuls of blueberries if available. They freeze well too!
I dont have butter but i do have margarine is it ok to use margarine instead?
Oh, I think so … let us know how they come out!
I just tried these muffins today and they are absolutely delicious! Very refreshing and perfect for spring. Thank you for sharing!
