Burst O' Lemon Muffins image

Only try these if you love lemon as they are pretty intense. I used the grater on the zest of one lemon and it was no where near 1-2 tbs but I think it was plenty. We liked them but my son preferred his without the glaze. I'd like to try the glaze with confectioners sugar and try the muffins with vanilla yogurt some time.

Time 43m

Yield 12 muffins

Number Of Ingredients 14

1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
3/4 cup sugar
1 teaspoon baking powder
3/4 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 cup lemon yogurt (8 ounces) or 1 cup vanilla yogurt (8 ounces)
1 egg
1/3 cup butter or 1/3 cup margarine, melted
1 -2 tablespoon lemon zest, grated
1 tablespoon lemon juice
1/2 cup coconut, flaked
1/3 cup lemon juice
1/4 cup sugar
1/4 cup flaked coconut, toasted

Steps:

  • In a large bowl, combine the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda and salt. In another bowl, beat the yogurt, egg, butter, lemon peel and lemon juice until smooth; stir into dry ingredients just until moistened.
  • Fold in the coconut. Fill greased muffin cups two-thirds full.
  • Bake at 400°F for 18-22 minutes or until golden brown and muffins test done. Cool for 5 minutes before removing from pan to wire rack.
  • In a saucepan, combine the lemon juice and sugar; cook and stir until sugar is dissolved.
  • Stir in coconut. Using a toothpick, poke 6-8 holes each muffin.
  • Spoon the coconut mixture over muffins.
  • Serve warm or cool to room temperature.
  • We have found we prefer them cooled as the lemon flavor isn't as overwhelming once they reach room temperature.

These muffins are perfect for freezing. I just wrap them individually in plastic wrap and freeze them for up to 3 months.

I love to add a sprinkle of lemon zest to the tops of these muffins before baking. It gives them an extra burst of lemon flavor.

These muffins are a great way to use up leftover lemon curd. I just add a spoonful of lemon curd to each muffin cup before baking.

I'm not a huge fan of lemon desserts, but these muffins were surprisingly delicious! The lemon flavor was subtle and not overpowering, and the muffins were incredibly moist and fluffy.
