In reply to Shelley. I haven't, and it's hard to say how they'd turn out - they are a little like muffins, which generally freeze well, but they are also a little drier and I do wonder if the texture might not be quite as good. If you did freeze them, then I'd suggest warming gently before eating.

I am just making these now - just wondering if anyone has ever tried freezing them?

Can the batter be made night before?

In reply to Beth. You certainly could add a little lemon juice, but the main thing is you want to keep the overall liquid about the same, so I would, for example, swap out 1tbsp of the milk and add in lemon juice instead. One reason for not doing so is the juice can make the milk curdle but it should sort itself out as it all mixes.

Hi Caroline-
Other recipes I’ve seen call for the juice from the lemon as well. Would it affect muffins too much if I added the juice for extra lemon “kick”?

In reply to Fran. I'm so glad to hear you enjoyed and they matched up! They were always a favorite when I lived in Spain so I was determined to make some to remember them.

In reply to Trace. So teaspoons are the same in all - around 5ml. I use US/UK measurements for tablespoons so 15ml (I know Aus is more). This uses large eggs which yes are around 55g or very slightly more. Enjoy!

As I am in Australia our measures are different cups/ tea & tablespoons. Thankyou for including the weights for the flour, sugar & oil but what are the spoons? US, UK, NZ or AUS? I must be sure because if I get them wrong the muffin will not be great, thanks. I assume the eggs are 55g?

I never heard of this name, but lemon and olive oil is a great combination. Perfect to have with a cup of coffee!

These gorgeous lemon and olive oil muffins are so delicious! Tender with the perfect texture. I only wish I had doubled the recipe. I'll be making more next week!
