Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups All-purpose flour
- 0.75 cups Granulated sugar
- 2 teaspoons Baking powder
- 0.25 teaspoons Salt
- 0.5 cups Unsalted butter, melted
- 0.75 cups Lemonade (store-bought or homemade)
- 1 large Egg
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 1 tablespoon Lemon zest
- 0.5 cups Powdered sugar (for glaze)
- 1.5 tablespoons Lemon juice (for glaze)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners or lightly grease each cup.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, and salt.
In a separate bowl, combine the melted butter, lemonade, egg, vanilla extract, and lemon zest. Whisk until smooth.
Pour the wet ingredients into the bowl with the dry ingredients. Gently fold the mixture together using a spatula until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; a few small lumps are okay.
Evenly divide the batter among the muffin cups, filling each about two-thirds full.
Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Remove the muffins from the oven and let them cool in the pan for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
While the muffins are cooling, prepare the lemon glaze by whisking together the powdered sugar and lemon juice in a small bowl until smooth.
Drizzle the glaze over the cooled muffins using a spoon or piping bag. Let the glaze set for a few minutes before serving.
Serve and enjoy your zesty Lemonade Muffins!
