    Lemon Lime Muffins. This is another one of those recipes where I started in one direction, and ended up in another. At first I wanted to make Lemon Poppy Seed Muffins, but we were out of poppy seeds.

    Then I had another idea, and then another. I finally decided on what I wanted to try, wrote down my idea, and planned on trying out my new recipe Sunday morning. Well, Sunday morning came along, and what I had planned just didn't sound good. So I just went ahead and made plain Lemon Muffins. When I went to mix together the glaze, I went to the refrigerator to get some milk, and I saw a bottle of limeade we had bought to make our Virgin Mimosas.  Ah ha! Lime glaze. Lemon Lime Muffins. I started to grab the bottle of limeade when I remembered I had a fresh lime. Even better!

    So, this Lemon Lime Muffin recipe is a result of, as my mom would say to me, the wheels that never stop spinning in my head. Miss you mom!

    My son got out of bed right about the time I sat down with my cup of coffee to enjoy some muffins for breakfast. Next thing I know he is grabbing muffins off my plate and looking for more. They were really good, and something that I will definitely make again.

    Here is how I made these muffins. The only thing I might do differently next time is to add just a little bit more lemon juice.

     

    Lemon Lime Muffins

    ¼ cup Oil
    1 Egg
    ½ cup Sugar
    ½ cup Milk
    Juice and Zest of 1 Lemon (I had ¼ cup lemon juice)
    ½ cup Greek Yogurt
    1 ¾ cups Flour
    1 tablespoon Baking Powder
    ½ teaspoon Salt

    Mix oil, egg, sugar, yogurt, milk, lemon juice, and lemon rind together in a medium mixing bowl. Add the flour, baking powder, and salt. Stir until combined.

    Fill muffin cups about ½ - ⅔ full with batter. I use an ice cream scoop. I made 12 muffins with this recipe.

    Bake muffins in a 350 degree oven for 16 - 20 minutes, until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Cool slightly.

    Lime Glaze

    1 to 1 ½ cups Powdered Sugar
    Zest of 1 Lime
    Juice from ½ - 1 full Lime (to taste)
    Milk if needed, to make a slightly thin glaze.

    Mix together ingredients for the glaze. Dip the tops of the slightly warm muffins in the glaze and set to cool. Enjoy!
