20 Second Crunchy Lemon Muffins

This is a really quick and easy muffin recipe, and the muffin itself is really moist and fluffy with a crunchy topping. These are way too easy to eat!!!

This recipe can also be made EGG FREE! I accidentally forgot to put in the egg in my first batch so I thought it would make a good experiment!! They look and feel pretty similar, quite moist and fluffy, however with the egg the muffin is a little more 'crumbier'. If I didn't taste one after another I probably wouldn't even tell the difference! The one without egg is slightly more denser and doughier in texture (similar to the doughnut muffins) and is a bit like a packet mix cupcake texture. Either way, these are soo delicious and very easy to make and eat!

  2. How well do these keep? Are they still crunchy the next day?

    1. These keep really well for a few days, just zap them in the microwave for 10 seconds so they are super fluffy again. The crunch comes from the lemon juice and sugar topping, which 'melts' after a day, but you can always just sprinkle more sugar on top before you eat it

  3. Hi, you have said the egg is optional (yeah!!!) Should I use a substitute or will it be just as yummy without an egg? Thank you, Kelly

    1. Hi Kelly, you can completely omit the egg. My Milo Muffins are also egg free 😊 http://thermotwinning.blogspot.com.au/2016/05/30-second-milo-muffins.html
