Loved them. I threw in a handful of blueberries too and they were lovely and lemony.

Excellent muffins! They are definitely light and lusciously lemon! I used the juice of a whole lemon as suggested by a reviewer and also made a powdered sugar glaze to pretty the tops. So moist and yummy! Made for 123 Hit Wonders.

This recipe was just OK for us. It lacked the lemon "zip" that we enjoy. I did like the way the they rose and were a healthier muffin than some we have tried. I would definitely need to add more lemon next time.

I used the juice of one lemon. I got only vanilla yogurt so I used it. I used only all purpose flour, no nutmeg at all. They're moist and they're big. They have a good lemony taste. Not too sweet. Just perfect for us. I used vegetable oil instead of butter. Thanks Redsie. Made for 123 hit wonders.

loved these. They rise like a cloud, and so moist. The only caveat i have is that i think it needs a little more lemon flavor. Next time i will add the juice of a whole lemon rather than just two tbs. Delicious as they are though.
