These Lemon Pie Muffins are the perfect fusion of fluffy muffin texture and gooey lemon pie filling. Each bite bursts with zesty lemon flavor, featuring a hidden spoonful of lemon curd at the center. Moist, tangy, and easy to make — they’re ideal for brunch, tea time, or a light citrus dessert.

Ingredients

  • 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour

  • 1/2 cup sugar

  • 2 tsp baking powder

  • 1/4 tsp salt

  • 1/2 cup milk

  • 1/3 cup vegetable oil

  • 1 egg

  • Zest of 1 lemon

  • 1/4 cup lemon juice

  • 1/4 cup lemon curd (for filling)

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven:
    Preheat to 350°F (175°C). Line a muffin tin with 10 paper liners.

  2. Mix Dry Ingredients:
    In a bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt.

  3. Mix Wet Ingredients:
    In a separate bowl, whisk milk, oil, egg, lemon zest, and lemon juice until smooth.

  4. Combine Batter:
    Gently mix wet ingredients into the dry until just combined. Do not overmix.

  5. Assemble Muffins:
    Fill each muffin cup halfway with batter. Add 1 tsp lemon curd in the center, then top with more batter to cover.

  6. Bake:
    Bake for 18–22 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted near the edge comes out clean.

  7. Cool & Garnish:
    Let cool slightly. Optionally, dust with powdered sugar or drizzle with a lemon glaze.

Notes

  • For extra lemon flavor, use lemon extract or more zest.

  • Add a touch of poppy seeds for texture and visual appeal.

  • Store in an airtight container for up to 3 days or refrigerate for up to 5 days.
