Lemon Glazed Muffins

Glazed Lemon Muffins- Soft muffins bursting with lemon! Perfect for breakfast or dessert.

Here in northern Vermont, we woke up to a few inches of snow and blowing winds this morning. However, the next two days are supposed to be nearly 60 degrees.

You know what that means? Spring is just around the corner! Melting snow, warmer weather and of course, recipes using berries, no bake sweets and of course, my personal favorite, lemon. 🍋 💛

Ingredients Needed for Lemon Glazed Muffins:

• Lemons
• Flour + Salt + Baking soda
• Sugar
• Egg
• Plain Greek yogurt
• Butter: Softened
• Powdered sugar

Lemons: You will need two. Juice and zest for both the muffins and glaze. You can also use regular bottled lemon juice or lemon extract for them. I would start with about half a teaspoon and increase, depending on how lemony you like things.

Plain Greek Yogurt: None on hand? Sour cream can be used as a replacement.

A few recipe notes:

• Yes, I sound like a broken record, but, do not over mix your muffin dough. You simply don’t want any dry spots left in your dough. It doesn’t have to be smooth, a few lumps are OK. The more you mix it, the more dense your muffins could be.
• This recipe makes just 6 muffins, not the standard 12. However, you can easily double the ingredients to make a whole dozen.
• If desired, you can omit the glaze, these are still delicious muffins without it.
• Freezing? These muffins can be frozen for future eating. However, I would recommend freezing them without the glaze. When you are ready, let them defrost, then, glaze before serving.
