Can I use bottled lemon juice?

Yes, I love to use fresh lemon juice for this recipe but you can use the kind from a bottle, or one of those little plastic lemons!

Can I use frozen strawberries?

I love recipes where I can use fresh or frozen fruit especially when they are out of season. In this recipe your strawberries need to be finely chopped so using frozen berries is more difficult. If you don’t have fresh strawberries for this recipe frozen will do! You’ll have to thaw them beforehand chop them and make sure there isn’t a lot of excess juice or water in them. Farm fresh berries are always the best but if you only have frozen they’ll still result in a delicious muffin!

How to add more lemon flavor –

I know that some people like a lot of lemon flavor and lemon juice isn’t quite enough. If you like the tartness of lemon you can dial it up in these strawberry lemon muffins a couple of ways. First you can add about a tablespoon lemon zest or a teaspoon of lemon extract. Both of these are a perfect addition and will dial up the lemon and be delicious with the sweetness of the strawberries!

How to store these muffins-

These strawberry-lemonade muffins keep well in an airtight container. Allow the muffins to cool completely and then place cooled muffins in an airtight container or zip top baggie. They can be stored at room temperature for 2-3 days or refrigerated for longer storage.

For bakery style muffin tops-

If you want a deliciously sugary crunchy top on your muffins like in a bakery you can sprinkle them with granulated sugar, turbinado sugar or sanding sugar on top of the batter before baking. To make the muffins with nice high tops you can allow the batter to rest for 30-60 minutes before baking. Then preheat the oven to 425 and bake the muffins for 8 minutes, reduce the oven temp to 375 for the remainder of the baking time. This will result in nice domed lemon strawberry muffin tops.
