Lemon Lime Muffins with Citrus Glaze

Three muffins with a citrus glaze lined up on a blue decorative plate and The Olive Tap logo in the righthand bottom corner.

These super easy Lemon Lime muffins are a family favorite. They are moist and fluffy and the citrus sugar glaze adds just the right amount of sweetness.
