Lemon Drizzle Muffins – The Baking Duck

Lemon Drizzle Muffins

Lemon drizzle is such a favourite in my household and whenever I ask my boyfriend what he wants me to bake and his answer always lemon drizzle.

So I was thinking one day about what to bake to take with me to a friends bbq and I had this idea for lemon drizzle muffins.

The mixture for these muffins is filled with lemon zest and juice because you cant ever have enough lemon.

There is even a little surprise in the middle of the muffins just to ensure that lemon flavour is all the way through these muffins.
