Lemon Poke Muffins

Taken from my “Favorites” folder!

Taste test Notes; for lemon-coconut muffins mix in 1/2 cup sweetened flaked coconut into the dry ingredients

Yield 12 muffins

Ingredients:

1-3/4 cups all-purpose flour

3/4 to 1 cup sugar

1 teaspoon baking powder

3/4 teaspoon baking soda

1/4 teaspoon salt

1 cup lemon flavored yogurt (if you can’t find the lemon then vanilla flavored yogurt will work great also)

1 large egg

1/3 cup butter, melted

1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice

2 tablespoons lemon zest

LEMON GLAZE:

1/3 cup fresh lemon juice

1/4 cup sugar

Instructions:————————————–

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.

Grease 12 regular-size muffin tins.

In a large bowl combine the flour with sugar, baking powder, baking soda and salt.

In a small bowl beat the yogurt with egg, melted butter and lemon juice until smooth, then mix in the lemon zest; stir into dry ingredients just until moistened (do not over mix).

Fill greased muffin cups two-thirds full.

Bake in preheated oven for 18-22 minutes or until golden brown and toothpick inserted near the center comes out clean.

At this point I recommend to make the glaze.

Cool for 5 minutes before removing from pan to a wire rack.

For the glaze; in a saucepan combine the lemon juice and sugar; cook stirring over medium heat until sugar is dissolved.

Using semi-thick toothpicks poke 6-8 holes in each muffin, then spoon the lemon glaze over each warm muffin.

Serve warm or cool to room temperature.
