I really do love the taste of lemon. Whether it is sweet or tart, I can’t get enough!
These muffins definitely pack the tartness punch!
1/2 a cup is a lot of lemon juice. And you really taste it!
On top of that, you get the tartness from the rind as well.
Thankfully the sugar on top cuts that a bit. And it is a lot of sugar on top.
The sugar forms a sweet crust on the top of each muffin.
The sugar also gives the muffins a pretty crackle appearance.
I made these muffins for a fundraiser at my husband’s work. They sold out pretty quickly, so I think there are some other lemon lovers out there!
