Tips:

  • Use fresh lemons. Fresh lemons will give your muffins the best flavor. If you don't have fresh lemons, you can use bottled lemon juice, but the flavor won't be as good.
  • Don't overmix the batter. Overmixing the batter will make your muffins tough. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Let the muffins cool completely before frosting them. If you frost the muffins while they're still warm, the frosting will melt and run off.
  • Store the muffins in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days. You can also freeze the muffins for up to 2 months.

Conclusion:

Lemon chia muffins are a delicious and healthy snack that are perfect for breakfast, lunch, or a snack. They're packed with nutrition, including fiber, protein, and omega-3 fatty acids. Plus, they're easy to make and can be enjoyed by people of all ages.
