Lotta Lemon Muffins image

These muffins are really moist and really lemony. This is my oldest son's favorite muffin. The recipe come's from an old copy of Bon Appetite. My Dad always likes to add a few lemons into packages he sends us from California, which always makes these muffins extra special. 9-16-09 Since this was first posted it has become very difficult to find yogurt in the 8oz size so you either have to buy 2 6oz yogurts or add a little extra plain yogurt or a little sour cream. This is a very firm dough, not a loose batter like most muffins, but the muffins still come out nice and moist, enjoy!

Time 35m

Yield 12 muffins

Number Of Ingredients 13

1 3/4 cups flour
3/4 cup sugar
1 tablespoon lemon zest, grated
1 teaspoon baking powder
3/4 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
8 ounces lemon yogurt
1 egg
6 tablespoons butter, melted
1 tablespoon lemon juice
1/3 cup lemon juice
1/4 cup sugar
2 teaspoons lemon zest

Steps:

  • Muffins.
  • Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
  • Grease or spray muffin pan with release spray such as PAM.
  • Mix together dry ingredients in a large bowl and make a well in the center.
  • In a separate bowl mix together wet ingredients.
  • Pour wet ingredients in to the well of the dry and stir together gently until there are no flour streaks, it's ok if there are some lumps.
  • Bake 20 minutes, edges should get just a little brown, test as usual.
  • While muffins are baking, prepare glaze.
  • Glaze.
  • Mix glaze ingredients together in a small saucepan over medium heat, stir until sugar dissolves and mixture simmers slightly.
  • Keep warm low heat.
  • As soon as muffins are removed from the oven poke each one several times with a skewer, then spoon glaze over the muffins, using up all of it.
  • Enjoy!
  • NOTES:.
  • The dough is much stiffer than most muffins, don't worry they still come out nice and moist.
  • I don't use muffin papers with this recipe or you lose a lot of the glaze that is normally absorbed around the sides, which adds to the moistness of the muffin.

I love adding a dollop of whipped cream or a scoop of ice cream to my muffin when I serve it. It takes it to the next level!

I've made these muffins with both regular and gluten-free flour. They turn out great either way!

I'm not sure if I did something wrong, but my muffins didn't rise very much. They still tasted good, but they were a bit dense.

I made these muffins for a bake sale and they were a huge success! Everyone loved them. I even had people coming back for seconds and thirds.

These muffins were a disappointment. They were dry and crumbly, and the lemon flavor was barely noticeable. I followed the recipe exactly, so I'm not sure what went wrong.

I'm not a big fan of lemon desserts, but these muffins were surprisingly good! The lemon flavor was subtle and not overpowering. I would definitely make them again.

These muffins were a bit too tart for my taste, but my husband loved them. He said they were the perfect balance of sweet and sour.

I've made these muffins several times and they're always a hit! I love the combination of lemon and poppy seeds. They're also really easy to make, which is a bonus.

These muffins were a delightful treat! The lemon flavor was perfectly balanced, not too tart and not too sweet. The texture was moist and fluffy, and the muffins had a lovely golden-brown crust. I received many compliments from my friends and family
