In a medium bowl stir together the melted butter, milk, molasses, egg and lemon zest. Pour wet ingredients into dry ingredients while mixing on low speed. Mix until just combined.

Pour batter into the prepared muffin pan filling each liner about 3/4 full.

For the lemon glaze:
In a small bowl stir together confectioners’ sugar and lemon juice. Drizzle on top of muffins.

I loved these muffins! I thought they were going to be too sweet, but it was just the right amount of balance between the spicy and sweet. Definite going to make them again!
