Tips:

  • For the perfect crumbly streusel topping, use cold butter and work it into the flour mixture with your fingers until it resembles coarse crumbs.
  • To achieve moist and fluffy muffins, make sure not to overmix the batter. Overmixing can result in dense, dry muffins.
  • For a burst of citrus flavor, use freshly squeezed lemon juice and zest in the muffin batter and glaze.
  • If you don't have buttermilk on hand, you can easily make your own by adding 1 tablespoon of lemon juice or vinegar to regular milk and letting it sit for 5 minutes before using.
  • To prevent the muffins from sticking to the muffin cups, grease or line them with paper liners.
  • To ensure even baking, fill the muffin cups evenly and bake the muffins in a preheated oven.
  • For a golden-brown streusel topping, sprinkle the muffins with additional raw sugar before baking.
