Lemon Curd Muffiins

Share

 

Our neighborhood is FULL of citrus trees, and it’s pretty common to see oranges, grapefruits, and lemons rolling down the middle of the street.

I love cooking and baking with citrus.

However, we are the one house without a single citrus tree. Good thing we have very nice neighbors that load us up.

 

 

The other day I was the lucky recipient of a bag full of the largest lemons I have ever seen,

{I actually thought they were grapefruits}

 

so of course I needed to bake something lemony.

{is that an actual word}

Muffins were the first thing I thought of.

{I know, I’ve been on a bit of a muffin kick lately}

 

 

But the blueberry muffins I made last week were SO good, they left me wanting more.

I really like the blueberry lemon combination, but Charlie is not the biggest blueberry lover. To make him happy I skipped the berries.

Lemon muffins just seemed a bit too plain,

{my kids refuse to eat poppy seeds}

so I filled the centers with lemon curd

 

 

and sprinkled little sparkling sugar on top

{muffins like bling too}

I get my lemon.

Charlie doesn’t have to eat more berries.

Stella gets sugar,

and Ian’s just happy that he has a breakfast he can take to work with him.

Success:)
