4. 4

   Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and mix until just combined. Divide the batter evenly into the prepared pan.

5. 5

   Bake 20-22 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

6. 6

   Once the muffins are completely cooled. Mix the powdered sugar and lemon juice until smooth and drizzle over muffins if desired.
