Instructions
00:00 Introduction
00:24 Preheat your oven to 425F (220C) and line a 12-count muffin tin with paper liners. Set aside.
00:30 In a large mixing bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, cornstarch, and salt.
01:05 In a separate bowl, whisk together sour cream, melted butter, egg, lemon juice, lemon zest, and lemon extract (if using) until well-combined.
03:17 Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and use a spatula to gently combine until you have a uniform batter (don’t over-mix or your muffins will be dense!). This is a very thick muffin batter.
03:55 Evenly divide batter into prepared muffin tin - for larger, taller muffins only divide the batter into 10 cavities rather than all 12.
04:31 Bake in center rack of 425F (220C) for 8 minutes, then, without opening the oven door, reduce temperature to 350F and continue to bake for another 5-6 minutes (may need a minute longer if only baking 10-12 muffins), unti a toothpick inserted in the center of a muffin comes out clean or with a few moist crumbs.
05:13 Allow muffins to cool in their pan for about 5-10 minutes before carefully removing from pan and allowing to cool on cooling rack before adding glaze.
Lemon Glaze
05:27 Whisk together powdered sugar and 1 ½ Tbsp lemon juice. If glaze is too thick to whisk easily, add more lemon juice, a splash at a time, until a smooth consistency is reached that drizzles off the whisk in a ribbon.
05:56 Drizzle over muffins or dip completely cooled muffin tops in the glaze.
06:36 If you’re the patient type, allow glaze to sit and become firm before serving.
Notes
Muffin count
You can divide the batter into all 12 muffin cavities, but for large muffins with tall, fluffy muffin tops, I like to divide the batter into just 10 or 11 liners instead.
Storing
These muffins are best enjoyed fresh, but they may be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days. You may also tightly wrap them and freeze for several months.

A really good tip I learned from another cooking/baking channel TV show, when it comes to lemons and lemony flavor, dont use butter and lemons together in a recipe, try using oil instead of butter because butter inhibits that punchy sour flavor you get from lemons in baking. That tip really works.
Would the sour cream have the same impact as using butter than? If so is oil the same substitute for sour cream as well? What would the butter/oil ratio be? Same? Thanks for your tip.
@@JupiterMoon19 Sorry it took so late to see this reply. I never tried using sour cream but I think it has something to do with the kind of fat that's in dairy. I made some olive oil lemon bars, lemon muffins both using olive oil and omg the lemon flavor really truly comes through, but when using butter the lemon flavor is dull, you can barely taste it. Adding more juice just ruins the batter and zest only works when you zest directly over milk if you're using that as a liquid in the recipe before adding it to dry ingredients
I make these all the time they're delicious 😋
Oh my, these muffins are a must make for me! Thanks for this recipe Sam!!
You are so welcome!
Those lemon muffins looks so good I'm going to have to try this recipe thank you
Hope you enjoy them ❤

I'm so glad you enjoyed it! :)
These sounds delicious 😋 I'm gonna try these
I hope you love them! ☺️
Just tried it today for my son’s birthday. Kids all love it! The texture is indeed very soft and it’s a good blend of sweetness and freshness, also with a bit taste of cream. Really nice!Thank you Sam for sharing! I’m your fan now ❤
So glad they were a hit!!
You make me so hungry ♥️🍋 and your kitchen is lovely as are you!
My dad cooked and used corn starch in his sauces I never thought about flour for muffins but it makes sense. Thank you!
Thank you so much! Enjoy! 😊😊
Oh my goodness Sam, finding your channel this morning has undoubtedly been a blessing in my life! I can't wait to try one of your recipes and see if I can wow a few of my skeptic loved ones and catch them off guard!
Again, your cinematography, instructions, and your editing is top notch, visually appealing, and simple to follow/understand. Also love how your videos are to the point and short in length, for easy viewing and inspiration, especially for any viewers with busy schedules!
The muffins look absolutely delightful and adorable! Great job, and keep up the AH-MAY-ZING work!
Fawn 😍😍😍
You will love hanging out with Sam in her kitchen, she always leaves our taste buds wanting more. None of her perfected goodies have ever disappointed my family, except for when they’re all eaten up. To date they are always asking when I will make the next batch of goodness. 😋
@@ritasalazar8711 Thank you so much Rita! I am a beginner/inexperienced baker, but have wanted to give it a try for many years. I am feeling more confident now, and am so happy to hear you and your family have found lots of joy from Sam's recipes!
Very sweet
The muffins turned out really delicious! The muffin top had a slight crust, which paired really nicely with the soft, flaky, and moist rest of the muffin! The muffins were not overly sweet, which I really liked, and they had a good, light lemon flavor. I do want to try adding the lemon extract next time, since this time, I didn't have it on hand. Overall, I am very pleased! Thank you for such a yummy recipe!
I love lemon, I can't wait to try these!
Hope you love them 🥰
Thanks for the video 👍🏾👍🏾. Another delicious Muffin. Well done. Take care ✌🏾

Came out awesome, I had blueberries and strawberries I needed to use, so added the blueberries to the muffin mix as well as a tbsp of vanilla, and made a lemon vanilla whipped cream, strawberries on top 😋
That sounds so good! I'm so glad you enjoyed them so much! :)
So excited that I actually have all the ingredients and I don't have to shop lol thanks! I was wondering what else to do with so many lemons at home.
Perfect!!
I love muffins! And even blueberry, cranberry and chocolate chip! My mom makes the best muffins ever!

😳😳😳
I would like to add poppyseeds two lemon muffins
I love lemon-poppyseed mufins!
Poppy seeds would be great here! 🙂
@@SugarSpunRun 😊
Sam… you rule!!
🥰🥰
Hello sugar spun run,
Just want to ask do you now the gas mark for these lemon 🍋 muffins please.
Sounds very delicious! Can I use this recipe to make in a loaf pan instead of muffins?
I think that would work 😊
Question....
I know you carefully research your recipes which is amazing.
Do you think you can get more of a lemon flavor by letting the lemon zest sit in sugar to extract as much of the limit oil from the zest as possible???
It’s possible. With some of my recipes when the method is conducive to it I like to toss in the zest when I’m creaming the butter and sugar to help get more flavor from it that way
When are you going to add the caramel peanut popcorn Chex mix??
You have two muffins here ready for zesting....🤔
(I was trained as a journalist. I catch everything.)
I'm going to see if I can find some small blueberries and follow your recipe. I want to add them to the batter after coating them with some flour so they don't all sink. And then do the same icing.
BTW I am a huge fan
Yes 🙈 If only we could edit that kind of thing out easily! Hope you love the muffins 🙂
Hello sugar spun run,
Do we have too use sour cream and cornstarch in this lemon 🍋 muffins.
You could use full-fat greek yogurt instead of sour cream. I don't have a good substitute for the cornstarch though 🙁
Can I leave out the zest and just and extra lemon juice?
Unfortunately I'm not sure they would turn out if you add the extra moisture of the juice. The zest also adds a lot of flavor so I just can't be sure they would turn out and be very lemony. :(
Since the butter is melted rather than beaten would i be able to sub in melted coconut oil?
It could work, but the flavor will be different.
What is the brand of the zester that you used? I need a better one because I feel the one I have doesn't give me nearly as much zest as I actually need. If you could tell me that would be great, thank you.
It looks like a Microplane, and they make one just for 🍋 lemons
@@michaelatopalov1990 thank you so much for letting me know, it has helped me alot.
Great video... Question: Can i leave out the sour cream? Not a fan of it
You don't taste the sour cream in these--I promise! 🥰
Hello sugar spun run,
Just want to ask do you know what is the gas mark for the oven
The temperature will be the same whether it’s a gas or electric oven. The only adjustments need to be made for conventional ovens. 😊
Can I bake it like a cake? And will it change the baking time ? If so how, how much will be baking time?
I'd recommend my lemon pound cake or lemon cake instead 🙂

Sam can you bake a cake with this batter?
I'd recommend my lemon pound cake instead 🙂
czcams.com/video/S9NLdDuWiNQ/video.html
I have every ingredient except for the sour cream. with what can i substitute it?
Full fat greek yogurt will work. :)
So this is basically the same recipe as the Lemon Poppy Seed muffin?
I believe so! They’re pretty similar
@@SugarSpunRun Thank you, Sam. You're my "go to" recipe library when it comes to baking. It used to be Martha Stewart, LOL
I’ve never seen 425 for muffins. Only 325. What does the higher temp do?
Starting higher and then reducing leads to nice tall muffin tops 🙂
@@SugarSpunRun I can’t wait to try!
Me: I LOVE LEMON IT'S MY FAVORITE FRUIT ! I want to bake that ♡
Her: Farenheit,cups teaspoons and other weird mesures.
Me: Ok nevermind ._.
😫😫
Check the description and you'll find measurements in grams and temperature in Celsius 🥰
@@SugarSpunRun yeah thanks haha I saw them but I don't understand the rest in cups like baking powder
Full Fat Sour Cream all the way
Yes! 🎉
Hahahahaha you just just "I have 2 muffins here ..." Around 1:20 and those things in your hands are in fact... Lemons. 🤓
🤣🤣🤣 whoops!!
How are you reading my mind?
👀
Shouldn’t muffins be browner
These will dry out if you cook them that long 🙂
it really would be helpfull if you spoke slower to catch what your saying and you would've realized you had to lemons rather than two muffins
