Tips:

  • Use fresh lemon juice and zest for the best flavor. If you don't have fresh lemons, you can use bottled lemon juice and lemon extract, but the flavor will be less pronounced.
  • Be sure to measure the flour correctly. Too much flour will make the muffins dry and crumbly.
  • Don't overmix the batter. Overmixing will toughen the muffins.
  • Fill the muffin cups only 2/3 full. The muffins will rise as they bake.
  • Bake the muffins at a high temperature for a short amount of time. This will help them rise quickly and prevent them from becoming dry.
  • Let the muffins cool in the pan for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Conclusion:

Lemon corn muffins are a delicious and easy-to-make treat. They are perfect for breakfast, lunch, or a snack. With their bright lemon flavor and moist, tender texture, these muffins are sure to be a hit with everyone. So next time you're looking for a quick and easy recipe, give these lemon corn muffins a try. You won't be disappointed!
