Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups All-purpose flour
- 0.75 cup Granulated sugar
- 2 teaspoons Baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 cup Unsalted butter (melted and slightly cooled)
- 0.5 cup Greek yogurt (plain or vanilla)
- 0.25 cup Whole milk
- 2 pieces Large eggs
- 2 tablespoons Lemon zest
- 0.25 cup Fresh lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 0.75 cup All-purpose flour (for crumb topping)
- 0.5 cup Brown sugar (for crumb topping)
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground cinnamon (for crumb topping)
- 0.25 cup Unsalted butter (cold and cubed, for crumb topping)
- 1 cup Powdered sugar (for glaze)
- 2 tablespoons Fresh lemon juice (for glaze)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, and salt.
In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the melted butter, Greek yogurt, milk, eggs, lemon zest, lemon juice, and vanilla extract until well combined.
Gradually add the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, stirring gently until just combined. Do not overmix to ensure soft muffins.
Divide the batter evenly among the prepared muffin cups, filling each about 3/4 full.
To make the crumb topping, mix the all-purpose flour, brown sugar, and ground cinnamon in a small bowl. Add the cold, cubed butter and use a fork or your fingers to work it into the dry ingredients until crumbly.
Sprinkle the crumb mixture generously over the muffin batter in each cup.
Bake the muffins in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.
Allow the muffins to cool in the tin for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
While the muffins cool, prepare the lemon glaze by whisking together the powdered sugar and fresh lemon juice in a small bowl until smooth.
Drizzle the glaze over the cooled muffins for an extra burst of lemon flavor.
Serve and enjoy your bakery-style lemon crumb muffins!
