I've had this recipe since my college days, when it was served in one of my foods classes. These tempting, light lemony muffins go well at a luncheon with chicken salad. Even our two middle-school-aged children love to munch on them. -Mary-Lynne Mason, Janesville, Wisconsin

These muffins were a bit too sweet for my taste. I think I would reduce the amount of sugar next time.

I made these muffins with gluten-free flour and they turned out great! They were just as light and fluffy as the regular muffins.

I thought these muffins were just okay. They were a bit dry and the lemon flavor was not as strong as I would have liked.
