Strawberry Lemon Breakfast Muffins

These strawberry lemon breakfast muffins were not my favorite, but since my 3 year old ate three of them so far today I thought that I’d ask her what to write about them.

Me: “Tell me about your muffin.”

K: “You take pictures of them.”

Me:  “How do they taste?”

K:  “Good. They my favorite muffin.”

There you have it folks, a review by a preschooler. These muffins were very easy to make and my kids liked them a lot.  The original recipe called for wheat flour but reviewers complained that they were too dense.  I used all purpose flour for this recipe.  I do think that the texture of this muffin was good.  Our strawberries were not the sweetest and despite dusting them with some sugar, the muffins still could have used a bit more sweetener.  I think a light cream cheese frosting or thin lemony glaze would really make these muffins stand out.

Overall these muffins were tasty and I enjoyed the subtle hint of almond that accented the sweet berries and the tart lemon.  I still prefer a homemade blueberry muffin hands down!
