Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 0.75 cup granulated sugar
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 cup unsalted butter (melted)
- 1 cup milk
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 3 tablespoons lemon juice (freshly squeezed)
- 2 tablespoons lemon zest
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice (for glaze)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners or lightly grease with nonstick spray.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, and salt.
In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the melted butter, milk, eggs, vanilla extract, lemon juice, and lemon zest until smooth.
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and gently fold together using a spatula or wooden spoon. Be careful not to overmix; a few lumps are fine.
Evenly divide the batter among the prepared muffin cups, filling each about 2/3 full.
Bake in the preheated oven for 16–18 minutes or until the tops are golden and a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.
While the muffins are baking, prepare the lemon glaze by whisking together the powdered sugar and 2 tablespoons of lemon juice until smooth.
Once the muffins are done, let them cool in the tin for 5 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Drizzle the lemon glaze over the cooled muffins, allowing it to drip down the sides for a pretty effect.
Serve and enjoy your Triple Lemon Muffins!
