Tips

  • Don’t overmix your muffin batter as this will make your muffins tough. Mix just until dry ingredients are incorporated.
  • Use a muffin scoop to make sure your muffins are all the same size and bake evenly.
  • Don’t overfill your muffin tins. When you overfill them it prevents the muffins from reaching their full height!

    These look amazing! A must try.

    I, too, caught the little error in the recipe and wondered what I was to “cook 5 minutes”. 🙂

    I have been buying a Lemon White Chocolate Muffin at our local bakery lately, and am thinking I might come up with a white chocolate/lemon glaze for these. Yummm . . .

    I am always BLESSED by your recipes, and come back to them often.

      Laurel, That’s a little typo – should say cool. I’ve corrected it. Hope you love the muffins as much as we did. I think the white chocolate lemon glaze sounds amazing. I have a recipe for a white chocolate lemon cheesecake coming up soon.

    This recipe sounds heavenly! How much salt do I add to the batter? I see a pinch of salt in the topping, but not in the muffin recipe. Also at the end, what am I cooking for 5 minutes? The glaze? I can’t wait to make this recipe for Easter (though I’m sure I need to taste test it first!).
