Lemon Olive Oil Muffins

Light, fluffy muffins with lemon juice and zest; olive oil and butter keep them moist and flavorful.

These light, fluffy muffins get a double dose of lemon by using both the juice and a generous amount of zest. Rubbing the lemon zest into the sugar with your fingertips helps release the flavorful lemon oil and distribute it evenly throughout the batter, ensuring maximum lemon flavor. Using a combination of olive oil and melted butter not only gives these muffins a perfectly moist texture, but also helps them stay delicious for longer than usual.
