These muffins aren't too sweet, but are quite lemony. I like nutmeg, and tend to put a lot more than a dash in the mix.

Tips:

Choose the right lemons: Use fresh, ripe lemons for the best flavor. Meyer lemons are a great option, as they are sweeter and less tart than regular lemons.
Zest the lemons before juicing them: This will help to release the essential oils from the lemons, which will give your muffins a more intense flavor.
Don't overmix the batter: Overmixing can make the muffins tough. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
Fill the muffin cups only 2/3 full: This will help to prevent the muffins from overflowing in the oven.
Bake the muffins until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean: This usually takes about 20-25 minutes.
Let the muffins cool completely before frosting them: This will help to prevent the frosting from melting.

Conclusion:

Lemon honey muffins are a delicious and easy-to-make treat that are perfect for any occasion. They are moist and flavorful, with a perfect balance of sweetness and tartness. The honey adds a subtle sweetness that complements the lemon flavor perfectly. These muffins are also very versatile. You can add other ingredients to them, such as blueberries, raspberries, or nuts, to create different variations.
