In a medium bowl, combine flour, sugar, baking powder, lemon zest and salt; mix well. In a small bowl, combine milk, oil and egg; blend well. Add dry ingredients all at once; fold together just until dry ingredients are moistened (batter will be lumpy - don't overmix.)

Fill muffin cups 2/3 full. Bake for 20 to 25 minutes or until skewer inserted in centre of muffin comes out clean. Cool 1 minute before removing muffins from tin. Serve warm.
First time ever making muffins, such an easy recipe to follow and they are simple delish! I too put lemon curd inside and a lemon drizzle over the top. I may try it with some raspberries the next time.
Something else.
I added half a teaspoon of lemon curd... a layer of muffin batter in the case then the lemon curd and then more muffin batter....'lush' Then bake as before
: easy easy easy and yummy, none left each time. have made these 3 times this week, replacing lemon with cinnamon and raisins in one batch. totally easy
My 2yr old Grandson did all the mixing on this recipe... (OK, I whisked the wet ingredients to mix the egg in)... Guaranteeing a lumpy mixture But, they were GORGEOUS! Best Lemon Muffin recipe I've found/used. Will definitely be baking them again I did drizzle a Lemon drizzle over them whilst cooling for a tangier cake, but would have been gorgeous either way
Something else.
Whilst cooling skewer each muffin a few times, and drizzle over some Lemon drizzle (lemon juice and caster sugar mixed, to kinda runny so falls off spoon). Gorgeous!
