20 Second Crunchy Lemon Muffins

This is a really quick and easy muffin recipe, and the muffin itself is really moist and fluffy with a crunchy topping. These are way too easy to eat!!!

This recipe can also be made EGG FREE! I accidentally forgot to put in the egg in my first batch so I thought it would make a good experiment!! They look and feel pretty similar, quite moist and fluffy, however with the egg the muffin is a little more ‘crumbier’. If I didn’t taste one after another I probably wouldn’t even tell the difference! The one without egg is slightly more denser and doughier in texture (similar to the doughnut muffins) and is a bit like a packet mix cupcake texture. Either way, these are soo delicious and very easy to make and eat!

I made these last night, I replaced half the sugar with natvia and didn't use an egg. They were quick and easy.

Hi Kelly, you can completely omit the egg. My Milo Muffins are also egg free ? http://thermotwinning.blogspot.com.au/2016/05/30-second-milo-muffins.html

Hi, you have said the egg is optional (yeah!!!) Should I use a substitute or will it be just as yummy without an egg? Thank you, Kelly

These keep really well for a few days, just zap them in the microwave for 10 seconds so they are super fluffy again. The crunch comes from the lemon juice and sugar topping, which 'melts' after a day, but you can always just sprinkle more sugar on top before you eat it

Great recipeinspiration! I substituted wholemeal spelt flour, adding the required amount of baking powder, used coconut oil instead of butter, almond milk instead of regular milk, coconut sugar instead of the white, cut down to 100 grams. I also added 3/4 cup of frozen blueberries. They came out great!

Yum! I made this dairy free too by using soy milk and nuttelex. Super easy, super quick, super yum!!! I made them for my daughters lunchbox but I’m pretty sure she won’t get many of them!

These are delicious!! I throw in the lemon peel with 50g of sugar and blitz to get the zest first rather than grating the lemon. I also poke holes in the top of the cooked cupcakes and pour on the lemon juice then sprinkle on the sugar which makes for a deliciously crunchy topping. Soo good! Always well received 🙂 thank you!
