Hi Umpa,
I made lemon muffins from the bakery book and they are pretty darn good. Just one slight problem - they seem to make my throat burn. I am wondering if it could be the baking powder. I remember experiencing something similar years ago when I used too much baking powder or too much baking soda in a pancake recipe.
I think I used three teaspoons in your recipe - is that the correct amount I should have used?
Other than the burning they are lovely. I baked them in 12 silicone cupcake containers.
I also made a cream cheese frosting (85g cream cheese, 10 drops sugar free lemon extract, 1/8th tsp lemon zest and 6 tsps xylitol that I ground into icing "sugar" using my Bamix grinder. I have not calculated the frosting but imagine it would add about 1 carb to each muffin (hopefully less).
I had a quick look online to see if there were any good substitutes for baking powder - saw one suggestion to use sour cream - what do you think?
Again, great recipe and look forward to your thoughts on baking powder.

Hi Juvee! It may be the amount of lemon you are using,some people are sensitive.I use sour cream to add moisture to recipes or coconut oil.If I were you I would replace the baking powder with baking soda and vinegar ,it will make them rise and you can see if the baking powder is your issue.If I can help you further please ask ;)

Hi Umpa,
Thanks so much. I have not had issues with lemon before - but there's always the first time.
Will let you know how I go after using an alternative.
