  • Yogurt: Serve the muffins with a side of Greek yogurt or vanilla yogurt. The creaminess of the yogurt can complement the texture of the muffins.
  • Tea or Coffee: Lemon Cream Cheese Muffins pair well with a cup of hot tea or coffee. The warmth and slight bitterness of these beverages can balance the sweetness of the muffins.
  • Vanilla Ice Cream: For a more indulgent option, consider serving the muffins with a scoop of vanilla ice cream. The contrast of warm muffins and cold ice cream can be delightful.
  • Honey or Maple Syrup: Drizzle a bit of honey or maple syrup over the muffins or on the side. This adds a touch of sweetness and complements the lemon flavor.
