We recommend using olive oil rather than neutral oil if you love sunny flavors that recall holidays in the south! And why not add aromatic herbs to your muffins? Try adding a bit of fresh thyme or chopped fresh basil to your muffin batter—it’s super original and delicious.
Remember to use both the lemon juice and zest for maximum flavor, and you can absolutely mix lime and yellow lemon to obtain even more indulgent muffins!
