lemon muffins

 

before the much anticipated hiking trip i whipped up some lemon muffins. they turned out surprisingly good despite the fact that the recipe doesn't call for sugar. they could have used a little bit more lemon flavor so i think if i ever make them again i'll add more lemon zest and juice.

1 large egg
½ cup lemon juice
½ tsp. grated lemon rind
