Easy Lemon Muffins

This Easy Lemon Muffins recipe is old school style. Recipe comes from an old family cookbook. Consistency of cornbread with lemon flavor.

This super easy lemon muffin recipe is from an old family cookbook. I think it's fun when you check out recipes in old cookbooks. The ingredients and preparation methods are often different than how we do things today.

I could've tried to modernize the recipe but why? I enjoy making recipes from way back. Old recipes don't always turn out and sometimes even taste yucky by today's standards.

These lemon muffins turned out really good. These muffins have the consistency of cornbread with a nice lemon flavor. So if you are expecting a moist muffin, you may want to pass on this recipe.

💭 Recipe Tip

For even more lemon flavor, try adding some lemon extract to the batter. I would suggest ½ to 1 teaspoon of extract for this amount of batter. Remember that lemon extract is extremely potent so a little goes a long way!

If you prefer to use muffin liners by all means go for it. Cook time will remain the same and you will have one less pan to clean!
