Burst o’ Lemon Muffins
While I visited my sister in Florida, she baked a batch of these incredible muffins. They have a cake-like texture with sweet coconut and a mouthwatering lemon zing. I went home with the recipe. —Nancy Rader, Columbus, Ohio

This is a really great recipe and I made delicious muffins. They’re kind of like pound cake. I added 2 tbsp lemon juice to the yogurt to make it “lemon yogurt” and 2 more tbsp lemon juice for that extra lemony flavour. Still didn’t have enough lemon flavour so next time I’ll be adding a few more tbsp and extra zest. I also added 3 tbsp of vegetable oil so it’d be extra moist. And it was delicious, moist, melt in your mouth lemony goodness!
Love, love, love these! They have been appearing regularly at our house.
These are scrumptious! The only "change" I made was subbing 8 oz. of sour cream, flavored with 1/4 teaspoon lemon extract & a tablespoon of sugar, for the yogurt, since that's what I had. These were very most, with a fine crumb. I think having one with a bowl of berries would make a fine breakfast. Thanks for such a great recipe!
These were very good. I didn't have lemon yogurt so I added 2 tbsp. of lemon juice to some plain yogurt and that worked just fine. They are more of a dessert muffin than for breakfast and I will definitely make them again.
We love the refreshing taste of lemon and coconut here. Will fix these again!!
These were very tasty. I think I will try them without toasting the coconut next time. I love coconut, but toasted made it a bit overwhelming for me. I will make them again.
These are very flavorful. I think they can also be served as a light dessert.
These are a very delicious muffin. Love the addition of coconut. Will definitely make again.
Amazing! Made exactly as directed, using vanilla yogurt. Beautiful silky crumb and nice slightly tart kick from the glaze. Will be making these often!
Omg I love these! So easy and so delicious. I hate coconut so I just omit it and use a simple syrup glaze with fresh lemon juice for a topping,. They are wonderful and I highly recommend
