07 Step

Sprinkle the crumb topping evenly over the filled muffin cups. (5 minutes)
08 Step
Recipe View
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean. (20-25 minutes)
09 Step
Recipe View
Allow the muffins to cool in the muffin tins for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely. (5 minutes)
For an extra burst of lemon flavor, brush the warm muffins with a simple lemon glaze (mix lemon juice with powdered sugar) after baking.
The crumb topping can be made ahead of time and stored in the refrigerator until ready to use.
To ensure even baking, rotate the muffin tins halfway through the baking time.
These muffins are best enjoyed within 2-3 days, stored in an airtight container at room temperature.
For a nuttier flavor, add 1/2 cup of chopped walnuts or pecans to the crumb topping.
