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.

My batter turned out a lot thicker than yours and very golden brown but I didn’t use liners
Other than that it has a very nice lemon flavour
Also great with butter

Have you tried making this gluten free? They look SO refreshing and lovely, I’d love to try them, but am celiac, so must bake gluten free.

Unfortunately I haven’t, but if you try this recipe using GF flour, let me know how they turn out!

Have you made the Lemon Muffins with Swerve or other sugar substitute? Also, Have you tried Keto Baking Flour? I’m trying to get the carbs down…
Didi says
Wonderful dough!
There was not much lemon taste in muffins, but dough compensates that.
Only change from my side was, I used 100 grams of sugar.
And we loved every single bite.

I made these muffins and they were lovely. Can you switch the lemon to other ingredients such as coffee and use the muffin ingredient part as a base recipe?
