Pages: 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | (show all) Crunchy Lemon Muffins - A winner!       #259448 - 04/21/06 09:19 AM Edit Reply Quote steather Reged: 01/29/03 Posts: 345 Loc: Phoenix, AZ The recent newsletter recipe for "Crunchy Lemon Muffins" came just in time to utilize my surplus of lemons! (One of the benefits of living in the Valley of the Sun -- citrus trees everywhere!) And let me tell you, these are yummy! My muffins didn't turn out so 'crunchy', but they were definitely moist and sweet-tart and deeeelicious! They were a big hit among my co-workers. -------------------- Heather "Quod me Nutrit me Destruit" Print     Remind Me     Notify Moderator     Beautiful picture!!! -nt       #259449 - 04/21/06 09:23 AM Edit Reply Quote MCV Reged: 01/04/05 Posts: 740 Loc: Manchester, NH -------------------- >>>>>>>><<<<<<<< Michelle IBS-A, pain predominant Print     Remind Me     Notify Moderator     Re: Crunchy Lemon Muffins - A winner!       #259475 - 04/21/06 10:34 AM Edit Reply Quote nomorepooch Reged: 04/18/06 Posts: 285 I love your little muffin pan!

I splurged a while back and bought the "NordicWare Platinum Series Bundt Brownie Pan." It comes with 12 half-cup servings that are so cute! They make muffin making that much more fun, hehe.

For me it was more "pound-cakey" but the flavor was excellent. The tops of my muffins didn't brown either but the rest of the muffins were nice and brown. My friends are anxiously awaiting this dinner...I will probably make more for my family tomorrow. -------------------- Have a blessed day! Rachel Formerly poochibelly...

I'm pretty sure I followed the directions exactly. The muffins came out very dense and had very little taste. Also, the topping made them sticky. I was disappointed, since I usually love Heather's baking recipes!

I've had the tops come out crunchy sometimes and moist/chewy other times. Don't know what makes the difference - I've wondered if it's a weather change, humidity, something like that. But I've loved them both ways. - H -------------------- Heather is the Administrator of the IBS Message Boards.

My tops came out very light and the part that touched the pan came out nice and brown. I didn't get the crunch either...it will be interesting to know how they come out this winter when it isn't quite so humid. Good stuff! I will be making them again! -------------------- Have a blessed day! Rachel Formerly poochibelly... I have IBS but it doesn't have me!

I agree, mine weren't crunchy, but that coulda been because I didn't wait for the sugar/lemon juice mixture to cool. They were yummy! I think I might add more grated lemon to the lemon/sugar mixture. Mine coulda been more lemon-y. Great recommendation! -------------------- ~jules Print     Remind Me     Notify Moderator     Re: Crunchy Lemon Muffins - A winner!       #260565 - 04/28/06 02:26 PM Edit Reply Quote torbetta Reged: 01/24/03 Posts: 1451 Loc: New York I have been making these since Kerrie (KinOZ) posted them a long time ago and we love them. We never wait for them to cool. The girls love them and we eat them warm and usually finish all of them lol.

I also used the zest of three lemons(remember I doubled the recipe) and think it was an improvement. I am not a huge "lemon" person but these muffins are awesome! -------------------- Have a blessed day! Rachel Formerly poochibelly... I have IBS but it doesn't have me!

Reged: 10/14/04 Posts: 2518 Loc: Michigan I made these and they didn't quite come out like I expected. They seem thick and dense and I think I need more zest in the batter. I am disappointed because I really was craving these!

These have a poundcake like texture as opposed to say a blueberry muffin. I subsituted whole egg for the egg whites because a little bit of yolk won't bother me and preferred them that way. I wouldn't do that unless you know it won't hurt you. -------------------- Have a blessed day! Rachel Formerly poochibelly... I have IBS but it doesn't have me!

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. -------------------- Heather "Quod me Nutrit me Destruit" Print     Remind Me     Notify Moderator     Re: Lemon size       #261160 - 05/02/06 05:41 PM Edit Reply Quote nomorepooch Reged: 04/18/06 Posts: 285 I doubled the batch of muffins and used the zest of three huge lemons.

Reged: 10/14/04 Posts: 2518 Loc: Michigan 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!

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? -------------------- Have a blessed day!

I ended up putting them in the toaster oven for a couple of minutes to make the top more crunchy.
