Tips for making these the BEST muffins:

Lemon Zest: Infuse the sugar with the lemon zest to help spread the lemon flavor throughout the entire batch. Greek Yogurt: Use greek yogurt for extra moisture.

Then after the first 5 minutes of baking, turn the heat down to 350℉ to continue baking. Don’t open the door during the baking time.
