Best Homemade Lemon Muffins Recipe

Ingredients

  • 3 eggs
  • 1 cup sugar (200 g)
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • Zest of 1 lemon
  • 1 stick butter (120 g)
  • ½ cup milk (100 ml)
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour (250 g)
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 3 tablespoons lemon juice

How to Make Lemon Muffins

Step 1: Prepare the Batter

In a large bowl, beat the eggs, sugar, and salt until light and fluffy.

Add:

  • Lemon zest
  • Melted butter
  • Milk
  • Fresh lemon juice

Mix well until smooth and combined.

Step 2: Add Dry Ingredients

Sift together the flour and baking powder.

Gradually fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture until a soft, smooth batter forms.

Do not overmix the batter, as this helps keep the muffins soft and fluffy.

Step 3: Bake the Muffins

Line a muffin tray with paper liners or lightly grease the cups.

Fill each muffin cup about ¾ full with batter.

Bake in a preheated oven at 180°C (350°F) for about 20–25 minutes or until the tops are golden and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
