How to Make Glazed Lemon Streusel Muffins

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together 2 cups all-purpose flour, ¾ cup granulated sugar, 2 teaspoons baking soda, and ½ teaspoon salt.
  3. In a medium bowl, whisk together 2 large eggs, 1 cup plain yogurt, ½ cup (1 stick) melted unsalted butter, 1 tablespoon lemon zest, and 2 tablespoons lemon juice.
  4. Gently stir the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients until just combined. Do not overmix.
  5. Let the batter rest for 5 minutes.
  6. While the batter rests, prepare the streusel topping: In a small bowl, combine ½ cup all-purpose flour, ¼ cup granulated sugar, and ¼ cup (½ stick) cold unsalted butter, cut into small pieces. Use your fingers or a pastry blender to rub the butter into the flour mixture until it resembles coarse crumbs.
  7. Fill each muffin cup ¾ full with batter.
  8. Sprinkle the streusel topping evenly over the batter.
  9. Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  10. Let the muffins cool in the tin for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
  11. Prepare the glaze: In a small bowl, whisk together 1 cup powdered sugar with 2-3 tablespoons lemon juice until smooth and pourable.
  12. Drizzle the glaze over the cooled muffins.
