Prep Tips

• Love Lemon? For a more intense lemon flavor, add another teaspoon of lemon zest (2 teaspoons total).
• Strawberries: If you don’t have fresh strawberries on hand, you can use frozen strawberries that have been thawed. Be sure to drain any excess moisture from the berries after they thaw.
• Glaze: To make a lemon glaze, whisk together 1/4 cup powdered sugar, 2 teaspoons lemon juice, and 1/4 teaspoon lemon zest. Drizzle the glaze over the cooled muffins.
