Step-by-Step Instructions for Lemon Crumb Muffins
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a muffin tin with paper liners.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together 2 cups of all-purpose flour, 1 cup of sugar, 2 teaspoons of baking powder, and a pinch of salt.
  3. In another bowl, combine 1/2 cup of melted unsalted butter, 2 eggs, 1 cup of milk, 2 tablespoons of lemon zest, and 1/4 cup of lemon juice.
  4. Pour the wet mixture into the bowl with the dry ingredients and gently fold them together until just combined.
  5. Fill each muffin cup about two-thirds full with batter and bake for 20-22 minutes.
  6. Remove the muffins from the oven and let them sit in the tin for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
  7. In a small bowl, whisk together 1 cup of powdered sugar and 2 tablespoons of lemon juice until smooth.
  8. Drizzle the lemon glaze over the top of each muffin and allow the glaze to set.
