Lemon Burst Muffins

[ssba]

The name says it all on these wonderful lemon muffins soaked in a wonderful lemon coconut syrup…a burst of lemon flavor with coconut in the background…a perfect summer breakfast!

Lemon Burst Muffins - These little breakfast muffins are packed full of lemon flavor!  They are a lemon lover's dream breakfast recipe!

 

So my mom is not a huge lemon fan like some of my family members.  This is complete opposite of me.  I’ve blogged before about how much I just adore lemon.  I love it so much that when I’m not pregnant, I love to drink Crystal Light lemonade all the time.  I just love that tart, lemony flavor.  My former co-worker shared this recipe with me a few years ago, and I’ve been in love ever since.

Well I made some of these and brought a few to my parent’s house knowing that my dad would like them.  Well I got a call later from my mom saying how much she loved them!  She went on about how delicious they were.  I knew this recipe was good, but then this really gave me all the affirmation I needed to pass this recipe along to you.

So I declare these Lemon Burst Muffins, a perfect lemon treat even for the non-lemon loving person.

    Oh these look so good Jaren! I too love lemon! I love to eat lemons as well. I cut them into wedges and eat the whole wedge, rind and all. Plus it is good for my kidney’s and helps to keep those nasty kidney stones at bay. I will be trying this recipe out for sure! Hugs, Brenda

    Over the years I have come to love anything lemon! These wound amazing! I have a recipe for a boxed lemon cake mix that you don’t make according to the box directions….I don’t recall exactly what you do but after baking it, you poke holes in it and drizzle a glaze made with lemon juice and powdered sugar over the top of it….it is soooo good!!! These remind me of that!! 🙂
