Triple-Lemon Muffins
|
Yield: 1 dozen (serving size: 1 muffin)
Source: Cooking Light, MAY 1997
Comments from a PA Kitchen: These were nice and lemony, but I think I helped that
along by adding a half-tsp of lemon extract to the ingredients too.
Nice and moist the first day, after that it became a little rubbery
like lower fat muffins do. I snuck about a half-cup of grated
zucchini into these too because I have to con my daughter into
eating green things whenever possible.
INGREDIENTS:
2 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 cup sugar
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon salt
3 tablespoons margarine, melted
1 teaspoon grated lemon rind
1/4 cup fresh lemon juice, divided
2 large eggs
1 (8-ounce) carton lemon low-fat yogurt
Cooking spray
1 1/2 tablespoons sugar
INSTRUCTIONS:
- Preheat oven to 400°.
- Combine first 5 ingredients in a medium bowl; make a well in center
of mixture. Combine margarine, lemon rind, 2 tablespoons lemon
juice, eggs, and yogurt; stir well with a whisk. Add to flour
mixture, stirring just until moist.
- Spoon batter into each of 12 muffin cups coated with cooking spray.
Bake at 400° for 20 minutes or until golden.
- Combine 2 tablespoons lemon juice and 1 1/2 tablespoons sugar in a
small saucepan; bring to a boil. Cook 2 minutes or until slightly
