{Lemon Muffins with Sweet Lemon Glaze}

Growing up I always remember my mom baking, that was and is her thing!  My mom is a phenomenal baker!  She makes some of the best pies (my favorite is her Pecan Pie) and can make a pretty mean cheesecake!  Growing up I remember countless weekends spent baking cookies or brownies with my mom and younger sister.  And she always baked delicious Sugar Top Muffins for breakfast on the first day of school, recipe here!  To this day I will still find my mom in the kitchen bright and early on Holidays (think Easter, Christmas, etc.) whipping up something delicious and tasty for a special holiday breakfast!   I love sitting with my mom while she bakes, carefully measuring out each ingredient, and always snagging a few bites of batter (brownie batter is the best).  There is something special about those moments spent in the kitchen with my mom!

So with Mother’s Day being tomorrow, I thought I would share a special muffin recipe with you all!   It is a recipe that makes me think of baking with my mom!  These delicious lemon muffins are light, fluffy and packed with lemony flavor.  Make these muffins for Brunch or to show your mom just how special she is to you!  They are perfect for brunch alongside eggs, and make a delicious snack with coffee or tea!   Enjoy and Happy Early Mother’s Day to all the moms out there!
