Honey’s subtle sweetness comes through in every bite of these moist little muffins, providing the perfect counterpoint to the bright taste of lemon. Rachel Hart - Wildomar, California

I got the muffins in the oven and tasted a little of the leftover batter. Compared to the muffins, there's a lot more lemon flavor in the batter and there's more honey flavor in the muffins. I think I'd make a bit more of the glaze to coat them a little better. I used a lemon that I squeezed the juice out of and got 1/2 cup of juice, so I doubled the recipe and got 16 muffins from it. One other thing I'll have to make sure about next time is being more careful with the mixing. I mixed it the way I've mixed muffins before, but this particular one I have to stop mixing earlier. The dry soaks up the liquid, so you don't have to mix it as much. I really like these though, although I might have a bit more lemon juice so it's stronger in the finished product.

How can you can this recipe "healthy" when it contains all-purpose flour? If I do decide to try the recipe I'll use whole wheat pastry flour.

I liked the taste of these muffins and they were easy to make but they were a little bit on the dry side.

These tasted more like cornbread muffins with a hint of lemon. I couldn't taste the honey. I frosted them with vanilla frosting which added more dimension to them. However, they are so easy to make that I would make them again.
