Ingredients

• 2 cups All-purpose flour
• 0.75 cups Granulated sugar
• 2 teaspoons Baking powder
• 0.25 teaspoons Salt
• 0.5 cups Unsalted butter, melted
• 0.75 cups Lemonade (store-bought or homemade)
• 1 large Egg
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 1 tablespoon Lemon zest
• 0.5 cups Powdered sugar (for glaze)
• 1.5 tablespoons Lemon juice (for glaze)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners or lightly grease each cup.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, and salt.

Step 3

In a separate bowl, combine the melted butter, lemonade, egg, vanilla extract, and lemon zest. Whisk until smooth.

Step 4

Pour the wet ingredients into the bowl with the dry ingredients. Gently fold the mixture together using a spatula until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; a few small lumps are okay.

Step 5

Evenly divide the batter among the muffin cups, filling each about two-thirds full.

Step 6

Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

Step 7

Remove the muffins from the oven and let them cool in the pan for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 8

While the muffins are cooling, prepare the lemon glaze by whisking together the powdered sugar and lemon juice in a small bowl until smooth.

Step 9

Drizzle the glaze over the cooled muffins using a spoon or piping bag. Let the glaze set for a few minutes before serving.

Step 10

Serve and enjoy your zesty Lemonade Muffins!
