The Best Lemon Muffins Ever

Ok, so my next door neighbor is like 80 and she takes care of me like I'm her daughter. Anyway, she made me these wonderful muffins the other day and I fell in love. They were so light and delicious and (as it turns out) healthy!


Lemon Muffins
2 C. Flour
2/3 C Sugar (plus 2 tsp, divided)
1 Tbsp Baking Powder
1/2 C. Unsalted Butter (or margarine) melted
1/2 C. Egg Whites
2 Lemons (or 1/2 C. Lemon Juice and 1+ Tbsp Grated Peel)

In a medium mixing bowl, combine flour, 2/3 C. sugar, and baking powder. In a separate bowl, combine melted butter, egg whites, lemon juice, and peel. Pour liquid mixture over dry and stir just enough to moisten. Spoon into muffin tins sprayed with cooking spray. Sprinkle remaining 2 Tbsps of sugar over the muffins. Bake at 400 degrees for 15 to 18 minutes or until they test done. Makes 12 Muffins

if you want to add more fiber, you can sprinkle some milled flax seed over the top with the sugar. Also, if you use margarine instead of butter you will add 20mg of sodium per muffin or 240mg total.

Enjoy!!!
