Got this recipe from a dear friend. She said they're great. Haven't made them yet, though.

Provided by Lynnda Cloutier

Categories     Muffins

Number Of Ingredients 9

2 cups flour
1 tablespoon baking powder
1/2 t. salt
1 cup sugar
1/3 cup milk
2 eggs, lightly beaten
1/4 cup vegetable oil
1/3 cup key lime juice
1 t. lime zest

Steps:

  • 1. Mix flour, baking powder, salt and sugar in large bowl. Make a well in center. Mix the milk, eggs, oil, lime juice and lime zest in bowl and mix well. Add to the well in the center of the flour mixture and stir just until moistened. Spoon into lightly greased muffin cups, filling 3/4 full. Bake at 400 for 28 minutes or until light brown. Remove at once from muffin cups. Makes 1 dozen.Note: Place hot muffin pans on a wet towel for no stick removal.

Tips:

  • Use fresh key limes. Fresh key limes have a more intense flavor than bottled or frozen lime juice, and they will give your muffins a brighter, more vibrant flavor.
  • Don't overmix the batter. Overmixing the batter will make the muffins tough. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Bake the muffins in a hot oven. A hot oven will help the muffins rise and brown properly.
  • Let the muffins cool completely before frosting them. This will help the frosting set properly and prevent it from melting.

Conclusion:
