Lemon Thyme Muffins

Tangy with lovely fragrance, this muffin will brighten your day ^^.

Well, lemon is one of my favourite ingredients, I love both of its taste and it fragrance. But this time, it comes with honey and thyme, that makes it more intoxicated!.
Making muffin is very, very easy, and with this recipe that use oil instead of melted butter, you will find it a load easier, and quicker. If you love lemon, I really recommend making the Lemon in syrup and use it in this recipe, as it deepen the lemon taste. Lemon icing is an option (but I recommend it too, hehe), for giving the muffin more sweetness and tanginess and make the muffin more lovely too!
