Lemon-Ginger Muffins

"Nonfat yogurt keeps these lowered-fat muffins moist while lemon zest perks up the flavor. Splenda for baking could be used for the sugar and butter for the margarine if you prefer."

  1. I used unsalted butter, 3/4 cup sugar, 2 eggs. They're so good. They rised a lot. Maybe it's my new oven or the muffins lol The taste is unbelievable. Thanks SusieQ :) Made for 123 hit wonders.
     
  2. Wonderful muffins with a burst of citrus flavor and a hint of ginger. Great combination!
     
  3. These have a very subtle flavor combo. I might be tempted to add more ginger next time, though. I used a mix of Splenda and sugar. Nice texture for being low-fat!
     
  4. Delicious moist muffins! Love lemon - so I was sure to love these!! Added a few tbs of lemon juice and made the rest as is! Thanks SusieQusie!
