Keto Lemon Pound Cake Muffins with Lemon Glaze with just a few simple ingredients, indulge on these homemade Keto lemon pound cake muffins. With just the right amount of zest and the sweetness of the glaze, so good!
If you are a lemon lover, you are going to love these keto lemon muffins. They are bursting with lemon flavor and so easy to make!
Just like with all of my muffin recipes, these only require a handful of ingredients, minimal prep, and they store so easily in the fridge or freezer.
It is a simple procedure of mix and bake.
I use a muffin tin with liners and I always spray the inside of the liners with cooking spray to insure they do not stick.

These are so good. I added the zest of 1 lemon to the icing as well since I love lemon. Definitely will be making these again.
Patsy says
I love anything lemon and these muffins hit all the right lemon spots. The glaze was lucky to get on the muffins, it was real sweet, but the tartness of the fresh lemon juice made it perfect.
Libby says
Delicious! I made these in a jumbo muffin pan ( 6 instead of standard 12) as I only had jumbo paper liners at the time. But it was difficult to eat only a half because they were so good! Baked at 350 for 27 minutes. My husband said it’s a keeper…keeper, do it again.Love your recipes and clear instructions.
Nan says
I made these muffins this morning for Easter. They are scrumptious!
Be sure and make the lemon icing, it puts them over the top!
Thanks so much for the delicious recipe.
Firdos says
Can you use sour cream instead of Greek yogurt?
jenniferbanz says
yes, but it is actually the same carbs.
Patsy Wootton says
Why are there so many calories ? This recipe is very similar to your other muffin recipes, which I love! But it seems the only difference is the lemon juice, and yogurt is 7 ounces, where other muffin recipes are 8 ounces. So should be less than your other muffin recipes. What am I missing?
Christina says
These set up perfectly! They looked like regular cupcakes full of sugar and gluten - but the taste was so good! Loved the glaze! A friend asked for these instead of a birthday cake. Yum!
Carolyn Jorgensen says
I have no lemon juice, but have lime juice?? Could that work??
Rick Worth says

Delicious

I am on a muffin mission. I have made the blueberry several times and the chocolate chip. Both are delicious. This is next. I wonder how this recipe would be if you added blueberries?
Sue says
I added blueberries to her coffee cake muffins. It was really good. I will probably try it in half of this recipe when I make it.
Donna Azu says
Great idea!

Hi Jennifer, I would love to know the nutrition facts without the icing? These are delicious by the way.
jenniferbanz says
The icing doesn't have much nutritional value since the sweetener is zero net carbs.

These lemon muffins are Delicious! I am surprised about the texture, much like non keto! My family loves them too. One of my Favorites! Thanks Jennifer!
Jenny says
These are delicious! Mine seemed to not rise as much as normal muffins (maybe my baking soda is old?) but they still tasted wonderful.. I will definitely make these again soon!
Alisha says
This is a wonderful recipe. At first, I thought they weren't going to be very good because I tried them warm and they had a strange texture. Once they were cool, they were very good. Nice lemon flavor.
Ethel says
