Ingredients

• 2 cups All-purpose flour
• 1 cup Granulated sugar
• 2 teaspoons Baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoons Salt
• 1 tablespoon Lemon zest
• 0.5 cup Unsalted butter, melted
• 0.75 cup Whole milk
• 0.25 cup Fresh lemon juice
• 1 large Egg
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 0.5 cup All-purpose flour (for streusel)
• 0.25 cup Brown sugar
• 0.25 cup Unsalted butter, cubed
• 0.75 cup Powdered sugar
• 2 tablespoons Fresh lemon juice (for glaze)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners or grease with non-stick spray.

Step 2

In a large bowl, whisk together 2 cups of all-purpose flour, 1 cup of granulated sugar, 2 teaspoons of baking powder, 0.5 teaspoon of salt, and 1 tablespoon of lemon zest.

Step 3

In a separate bowl, whisk together the melted butter, milk, 0.25 cup of fresh lemon juice, the egg, and vanilla extract until fully combined.

Step 4

Make a well in the dry ingredients and pour in the wet mixture. Gently fold the batter together until just combined; do not overmix.

Step 5

In a small bowl, prepare the streusel topping by combining 0.5 cup of flour, 0.25 cup of brown sugar, and 0.25 cup of cubed butter. Use your fingers or a fork to mix until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.

Step 6

Scoop the muffin batter evenly into the prepared muffin tin, filling each cup about 3/4 full. Sprinkle the streusel topping over each muffin.

Step 7

Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.

Step 8

Let the muffins cool in the tin for 5 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 9

For the glaze, mix 0.75 cup of powdered sugar with 2 tablespoons of fresh lemon juice in a small bowl until smooth. Drizzle the glaze over the cooled muffins.

Step 10

Allow the glaze to set for a few minutes before serving. Enjoy your Glazed Lemon Streusel Muffins!
