Glazed Lemon Muffins

Lemon muffins is what you do when life gives you a huge lemon tree and you have no clue what to do with them. Let me tell you, they are delicious & probably my favorite use of our lemon tree so far.

The girls and I made a batch and even dropped some off on our neighbors’ doorsteps in true social distancing neighborly fashion! In fact, the day we made these lemon muffins began our new tradition of weekly baked goods delivery to our neighbors.

Dropping off baked goods has been such a fun thing for me to do with me kids. My neighbors love getting sweet treats, the girls love making them, and it keeps us making new recipes every week.

We made our lemon muffins with whole wheat flour! But feel free to use white flour as well. This pandemic has made flour really hard to come by so we used what we had and made it happen! This is a great time to get creative & use what you have!

Following the amounts below you will make 2 dozen glazed lemon muffins. I used regular cupcake-sized baking sheets to bake.
