I made a batch of Lemon Pound Cake Muffins to enjoy with my morning coffee. They reminded me of muffins you’d buy at a coffee shop. A little fancy, but a whole lot of YUM.

The muffin itself isn’t overly sweet and has the perfect amount of tangy lemon flavour. They are dense, moist and melt-in-your-mouth good. The lemon glaze makes the muffin, in my opinion. It adds a sweet lemony flavour.

This recipe makes 12 large muffins. I gave some of them to a friend and kept about half for my family to enjoy. My daughter, Bridget, is a huge lemon fan. This kid will eat a whole lemon like an orange! It’s crazy to watch.
