Easter is just about here, so it's time to share some brunch recipes with you. This Strawberry Lemon Muffin recipe is quick and easy (except for the zesting of a lemon) and the muffins can be enjoyed hot out of the oven or a day or two later. Warm and buttered or simply plain, you can't go wrong serving these at your Easter Brunch!
So often when you see lemon in the title of a muffin recipe, you think poppyseeds or blueberries are involved as well. I decided to do something different and pair strawberries with the lemon. I actually made these two different ways, one with lemon and one without. The consensus was they were both great but the lemon had maybe a bit more flavor. Feel free to leave out the lemon. The cooking time may be a few minutes less since some moisture (lemon juice) is taken out.

Quick Notes *I used Nature's Hollow Xylitol Honey for a lower sugar option and they tasted great!!!
Store in a tightly covered container, I like to use glass containers. They should last for at least 5 days at room temperature.
