Instructions
0 Preheat your oven to 375 degrees 1 In a large bowl, whisk 2 large eggs with 1/2 cup vegetable oil, 3/4 cup granulated sugar, 1 tablespoon of lemon zest, 1 teaspoon of lemon or citrus extract and 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract until fully combined. 2 Add 1/2 cup of whole milk and 3 tablespoons of lemon juice and whisk until smooth and frothy. 3 Add 2 cups of all purpose flour along with 2 teaspoons of baking powder, 1/2 teaspoon of baking soda and 1/2 teaspoon of salt and mix until just combined. 4 Line a standard sized cupcake tin with liners and fill each cavity just below full. 5 In a small bowl, whisk 1/3 cup of all purpose flour with 3 tablespoons of granulated sugar and use your hands to incorporate 1 1/2 tablespoons of room temperature butter into the flour and sugar until you have a texture like slightly wet sand. 6 Top each muffin generously with the streusel and press down lightly to help it adhere to the batter. 7 Sprinkle course sugar over each muffin and then bake in a 375 degree oven for 22-24 minutes or until a toothpick comes out of the center of a muffin clean. 8 Transfer the muffins onto a cooling rack to cool. 9 To glaze the muffins, whisk a cup of sifted confectioners sugar with a splash of vanilla extract and enough fresh lemon juice to create a consistency that will drizzle well. 10 Drizzle each muffin with the glaze and enjoy!View original recipe
