Before I start I need to let you know, I did 50% wheat flour and 50% white. They surprisingly turned out very well. They got to be nice big muffins and decent flavor, great texture. I think they could have been more lemony however, I think it is because of the wheat flour they weren't very lemony. The frosting was a great add!

I took advice from some of the reviews and doubled up on the zest and lemon extract. I also added extra lemon yogurt and still found these lacked a lemon taste. The muffin is alright, kind of dense, but lacking in flavor for me. I may try again, but would add even more zest and up to 1/3 cup lemon juice. Believe me, the batter is thick enough it would cause no problems.

These were ok. They were not sweet enough or lemony enough for my tastes. The kids ate them and liked them but I didn't really. Only good when they were hot.

These are wonderful, light, fluffy, and delicious muffins with the following changes! 1) use 1and1/4 cup buttermilk or kefir instead of milk and lemon yogurt, 2) increase sugar to 1/2 cup to compensate for less sugar in buttermilk, 3) increase baking soda to 3/4 tsp and decrease baking powder to 1tsp, 4) most times i omit the glaze, and these make a great morning muffin, not just a dessert

Delicious! I took the advice of past reviews and used 1/3 cup oil instead of 1/4 cup, and used a whole cup of lemon yogurt instead of 2/3 cup the recipe calls for. I also used lemon juice rather then lemon extract and added more zest. I used the juice and zest of 1 1/2 lemons. I also added 1 tsp vanilla extract. I might add more sugar next time because I prefer my muffins on the sweeter side, but even without the extra sugar they came out moist and delicious!

Very good, but I would use more lemon flavor next time....more zest or extract. I also added a drop or two of yellow food coloring to give them more "lemon" color.

Really good. I only put glaze on half at first, but they weren't sweet enough so I added it later.

Just made these and they turned out wonderful. I think next time I'll use a little more lemon, but these were moist and tastey! Glaze is a must for the finishing touch!
