Also, unlike their conventional white-floured counterpart, these use white whole-wheat flour to retain fiber without adding too much density.
The “double lemon” factor comes from using both the zest and the vitamin C-rich juice of the fruit, giving these treats a little sunshine to wake up any sleepy weekday!
Serve with yogurt for a quick and filling breakfast.
