Notes
In addition to lemon, you can try several tasty twists:
- For a chocolate option, swap the lemon juice and zest for and stir in mini chocolate chips.
- Alternatively, add a sprinkle of raw sugar on top before baking to give your muffins a sweet crunch.
- Instead of the glaze, you can dust the tops with powdered sugar for a simpler finish.
- For a fruity twist, stir in blueberries or raspberries to the batter before baking.
