Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup sugar
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
  • 1 large egg
  • 1/2 cup milk
  • 1 tablespoon lemon zest
  • 1/4 cup fresh lemon juice
  • 1/4 cup all-purpose flour (for streusel)
  • 1/4 cup brown sugar
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, cold and cubed

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. Prepare your muffin tin by lining it with paper liners or greasing it with butter.
  3. Mix the dry ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt until fully combined.
  4. Combine the wet ingredients: In another bowl, melt the butter and add in the egg, milk, lemon zest, and lemon juice. Whisk until smooth.
  5. Combine the wet and dry mixtures: Pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients and stir gently until just combined.
  6. Make the streusel: In a small bowl, combine the flour and brown sugar. Add the cold butter and mix until it resembles coarse crumbs.
  7. Fill the muffin tin with batter and top each with a sprinkle of streusel.
  8. Bake for 18-20 minutes, or until a toothpick comes out clean.
  9. Cool the muffins in the tin for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

These muffins pair beautifully with whipped cream or cream cheese and a hot cup of tea or coffee.
