I think it also depends on the size of the lemons you use. My zest from one lemon can be twice as much as yours! I used HUGE lemons, so mine were very lemon-y.

Also, I always tend to add an extra teaspoon or two of zest in all my baking recipes, because I always like more zest-y flavor than the recipes tend to call for. I think the measurements are approximations anyway - teaspoons are kind of arbitrary. Use taste as a guide Hehe, I usually have a teensy taste of the batter before I bake it (you know, in case I forget some major ingredient like sugar, which I did just last week!) and that's also when you can play with adding more zest.

I doubled the batch of muffins and used the zest of three huge lemons. I would have used more but I was tired of grating!

You know I tasted another one and it wasn't as bad as the first. In fact the top was a bit crunchy. I think that I didn't let it cool long enough before I ate the first one. It still does need more lemon in the batter so I'll try that the next time. Thanks for the info!

not to mention I needed to use the rest of my lemons! They are so low in fat and the sugar content is lower than most non-safe recipes I use so I will be making these regularly!

Anyone know how they might freeze?

I made these and they were very moist but not crunchy. I ended up putting them in the toaster oven for a couple of minutes to make the top more crunchy. I wonder if this would work with oranges instead of lemons?

I am the only one in the family though...more for me! They go bad before I can eat the whole batch though!

These don't bother my tummy a bit and actually...they are filling enough that I lost weight when I was eating them every day!
