Super easy, simple, and delicious lemon muffins. These muffins are so fun to make with kids as they can do almost everything from whipping up the batter and pouring it into muffin liners and kids love that!
These are my favorite muffins. Seriously, I bake them almost every week! They’re very simple, very easy to make, and they only take 45 minutes to prepare. Simply beat all ingredients together until smooth and pour the batter into muffin liners or into greased muffin pan and bake!
The reason why I’m sharing this recipe with you today is that my sister baked these muffins before and loved them but lost the recipe (I already sent it twice to her) so here I am sharing it on my blog so she can always find it here! 🙂
And finally? Top with your favourite frosting and sprinkle with lemon zest! I love cream cheese frosting, so decided to make cream cheese frosting with butter, and powdered sugar.
Jan, 2015. We filmed this quick video to show you how easy are these muffins to make! That’s my 7 years old nephew Rayan in the video, along with Sophia, Kareem, and Juliana at the end of the video.
