Storage and Freezing:

Leftovers: store any leftover muffins in a container at room temperature for 3-4 days.  Freezing: these muffins freeze wonderfully. Once cooled, add the muffins to a freezer safe container or bag. They will keep for 2-3 months. Thaw by removing and putting in the refrigerator or on the counter. You can also put them in the microwave for 15-20 seconds to thaw and warm up. 

Tips for making these the BEST muffins:

Lemon Zest: Infuse the sugar with the lemon zest to help spread the lemon flavor throughout the entire batch.  Greek Yogurt: Use greek yogurt for extra moisture. Other options would be to use sour cream or even buttermilk.  Bake at high heat: the first burst of heat is high, at 425℉. This gives a nice rise to the muffins. Then after the first 5 minutes of baking, turn the heat down to 350℉ to continue baking. Don’t open the door during the baking time.
