It’s all about lemon streusel muffins today, but before I get to that a few updates…

If you’ve been following the blog you might have noticed some changes this week  — Girl Gone Gourmet has a whole new look and feel thanks to a recent move from Blogger to WordPress (finally!). The blog appears to have arrived in one piece – all 237 posts, 890 comments, and 600+ images made the transition and I’m relieved it went well. Now that the scary part is over it’s time to set up house. There are some boxes to unpack, walls to paint and decorating to do, which will take some time, but I’m excited about this new site and the whole new look for Girl Gone Gourmet – it’s been long overdue!

Needless to say, I am ready for the weekend! So let’s get back to the lemon streusel muffins. If you are looking to brighten your Saturday morning give these a try – they’re lemony with a sugary topping and perfect for a Saturday morning. They are easy to make (only one bowl!) leaving plenty of time to relax, drink coffee and read US Weekly important news periodicals.

Three cheers for the weekend!

Description

Light and lemony muffins with a crunchy brown sugar topping.


Ingredients

Scale

For the Streusel

  • 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
  • 2 tablespoons brown sugar
  • 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
  • 3 tablespoons melted butter
  • Zest of 1 lemon

For the Muffins

  • 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 3 eggs
  • ½ cup Vegetable Oil
  • 1 cup Sour cream
  • 2 tablespoon lemon zest (from about 2 small lemons)
  • 2–4 tablespoons lemon juice

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F and line a muffin pan with paper liners.

Make the Streusel:

  1. Whisk all ingredients in a bowl, except the butter.
  2. Add the melted butter into the dry ingredients until the mixture resembles coarse sand. Set the topping aside while you make the batter.

Make the Muffins:

  1. In a medium bowl, whisk the flour, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.
  2. In a large bowl, combine the sugar and eggs until the sugar is dissolved by hand. Add the oil and the sour cream and mix. Add the lemon zest and juice and stir to combine.
  3. Add the dry ingredients to the wet ones and stir just until combined. The batter will be thick and will have some lumps and that’s okay.
  4. Fill each muffin liner about 2/3 full and then sprinkle the streusel topping over each muffin.
  5. Bake the muffins for 15 to 20 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean. Remove them from the pan and let them cool on a baking rack.
  6. Store them in an airtight container at room temperature or in the refrigerator.
