Copycat Costa Lemon Curd Muffins

Copycat Costa Lemon Curd Muffins

These are a perfect (if slightly better) replica of Costa's Lemon Curd Muffins. Think big, moist zesty muffins, filled with a thick lemon curd. That said, these are cheaper than your coffee shop version and are super easy to make. If you have ever stepped into a Costa Coffee shop in the UK, you may have noticed their bright and cheerful lemon curd muffins displayed alongside lattes and cappuccinos.

Ingredients

  • 150 g (1 ¼ cups) All Purpose Flour
  • 1 tsp (1 tsp) Baking Powder
  • 110 g (½ cups) Granulated Sugar
  • 1 (1) Lemon Juice and Zest
  • 75 ml (⅓ cups) Milk
  • 50 g (4 tbsp) Butter Melted
  • 25 ml (2 tbsp) Vegetable Oil
  • 1 (1) Medium Egg
  • 6 tsp (6 tsp) Lemon Curd
  • Powdered Sugar Optional, to decorate

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 360℉/165℃. Line a 6 hole muffin tin.
  • In a large bowl, combine the dry ingredients (flour, baking powder, sugar and lemon zest).
  • Make a well, and pour in the liquid ingredients (lemon juice, milk, butter, oil and egg). Stir gently with a wooden spoon until just combined. 
  • Scoop the batter evenly into each muffin hole.
  • Add 1 Tsp Lemon Curd to the top of each muffin. Bake for 16-20 minutes - until golden on top.
  • Let cool on a wire rack before topping with more lemon curd and a dusting of icing sugar - optional, but very much recommended!

Notes

Note: Muffins can get dry and tough very easily. To avoid this, only use a wooden spoon or spatula to mix. Don't use an electric mixer/stand mixer.
