Kind of wish I had the mini-muffin pans cause yours look so cute! But even without the cuteness factor, these are amazing! Another keeper in my arsenal of recipes stolen from smitten kitchen!

These are amazingly delicious. Something about the lemon sugar that gives such a fragrantly potent flavor vs. using juice. These are a favorite in this house!

I went to Bon Appetit to see the reviews (since the recipe said it was adapted from Bon Appetit). The original recipe called for a brushing of cream and a sprinkle of lemon sugar. I was making 150+ muffins and the lemon sugar was very damp making it hard to sprinkle evenly, so I opted for a brushing of lemon glaze. Another small change I made to the directions - I put the lemon zest and sugar in the mini food processor to make sure they were well muddled. I also have a general suggestion. I would love to have known why you made the changes to the Bon Appetit recipe that you did (omitting the cream and lemon sugar topping). Did you feel the topping was unnecessary?? To difficult?? Would you consider adding the reason for your recipe adaptations to your postings? thanks!! Loved these little muffins, but felt they needed a little something on top to ramp up the lemon flavor.

Super DUPER yummy! I made a pan of the little ones and used the rest of the batter for big ones. The mini muffins were PERfect. Such an awesome blend with that one raspberry in the center. I didn't have buttermilk so I used the ol' lemon juice trick. Here's the kicker. I put them out after dinner (they were supPOSed to be for breakfast tomorrow) and everyone snagged a couple for dessert! Thank you thank you thank you.
