Ingredients

• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 0.75 cup granulated sugar
• 2 teaspoons baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 0.25 cup unsalted butter (melted)
• 1 cup milk
• 2 large eggs
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 3 tablespoons lemon juice (freshly squeezed)
• 2 tablespoons lemon zest
• 1 cup powdered sugar
• 2 tablespoons lemon juice (for glaze)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners or lightly grease with nonstick spray.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, and salt.

Step 3

In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the melted butter, milk, eggs, vanilla extract, lemon juice, and lemon zest until smooth.

Step 4

Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and gently fold together using a spatula or wooden spoon. Be careful not to overmix; a few lumps are fine.

Step 5

Evenly divide the batter among the prepared muffin cups, filling each about 2/3 full.

Step 6

Bake in the preheated oven for 16–18 minutes or until the tops are golden and a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.

Step 7

While the muffins are baking, prepare the lemon glaze by whisking together the powdered sugar and 2 tablespoons of lemon juice until smooth.

Step 8

Once the muffins are done, let them cool in the tin for 5 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 9

Drizzle the lemon glaze over the cooled muffins, allowing it to drip down the sides for a pretty effect.

Step 10

Serve and enjoy your Triple Lemon Muffins!
