Tips:

  • Use fresh lemons: Fresh lemons provide a brighter, more intense flavor than bottled lemon juice.
  • Zest the lemons before juicing them: This will help release the essential oils from the lemon peel, which will give your muffins a more pronounced lemon flavor.
  • Don't overmix the batter: Overmixing can result in tough, dense muffins. Mix the batter just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Fill the muffin cups about ⅔ full: This will prevent the muffins from overflowing.
  • Bake the muffins until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean: This usually takes about 20-25 minutes.
  • Let the muffins cool in the pan for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack: This will help them hold their shape.

Conclusion:

These lemon chip muffins are a delicious and refreshing treat that are perfect for breakfast, lunch, or a snack. They're easy to make and can be customized to your liking. Try adding different types of chocolate chips, nuts, or dried fruit to create your own unique flavor combination. You can also use a different type of citrus fruit, such as limes or oranges, to create a different flavor profile.
