LEMON CRUMB MUFFINS

My kitchen smelled amazing when these were baking! Spring cleaning? Spring smell for you!

Ingredients

  • 2 eggs
  • 1 Tbs sugar
  • ⅓ cup unsweetened applesauce
  • ⅓ cup plain 0% greek yogurt
  • ⅓ cup almond milk, unsweetened 
  • 3 Tbs fresh squeezed lemon juice
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • ½ tsp baking soda
  • 1 cup flour
  • 1 Tbs fresh lemon zest
For the Crumb Topping
  • 2 Tbs sugar
  • 2.5 Tbs flour
  • ¾ Tbs melted light butter 
Instructions
  1. Preheat oven to 350F and spray a regular 12 hole muffin tin with some cooking spray.
  2. Whisk your eggs & 1 Tbsp of sugar, add in applesauce, yogurt, milk & lemon juice, stir well.
  3. Mix in 1 cup of flour, baking powder & soda then stir in your lemon zest
  4. Pour batter into your 12 muffin cups. 
  5. In a small bowl melt your butter in the microwave, in a separate small bowl mix  2 Tbsp of sugar and 2.5 Tbsp of flour together and then pour in melted butter & mash with a fork till crumb forms. Sprinkle on top of muffin batter.
  6. Bake in the oven for approx 18 minutes. Makes 12 muffins. Best stored in fridge.
Tupps Tidbits:   For the crumb topping,  we added a bit more flour than what the recipe called for and the "crumble" l did not turn out the best.   Also, due to the ingredients, we would recommend not using cupcake liners & just spray muffin tin (the batter it might stick to the paper liners).

Believe it or not, we found they these had a very weak lemon taste.  We even used "real" lemon juice and zest. If you are going to try this recipe, maybe adjust it by swapping  the plain yogurt for a lemon blend.  They were super moist, but we are going to say  this is  NOT A KEEPER recipe at our house.
