Ingredients

  • FOR MUFFINS
  • ¼ cup unsalted butter softened
  • ¾ cup light brown sugar
  • 1 egg
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla
  • Zest of 1 lemon
  • 11/2 cup all purpose flour
  • 2 teaspoon baking powder
  • ½ teaspoon kosher salt
  • ½ cup milk
  • 1 ½ cup fresh strawberries chopped
  • FOR STREUSEL
  • ¼ cup butter cold and diced
  • ½ cup all purpose flour
  • ¼ cup light brown sugar
  • ¼ cup granulated sugar
  • LEMON ICING:
  • 1 ½ cups confectioners powdered sugar
  • Zest of 1 lemon
  • Juice of 1 lemon
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • 1 tablespoon butter

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Either use a non-stick cooking spray to grease a 12-cup muffin tin or line each cup with cupcake liners. Set aside.
  • In a large bowl, cream together butter and brown sugar together, then add lemon zest, egg, and vanilla. Whisk together well.
  • Combine flour, baking powder, and salt in a separate bowl.
  • Alternate adding the flour mixture and milk to the butter mixture, mixing until flour is just combined each time.
  • Add ½ cup strawberries to batter and fold in gently.
  • Using a cookie scoop, spoon batter into prepared muffin tin. Spoon remaining strawberries on top of the batter in tin.
  • FOR STREUSEL: Using a pastry cutter or forks, blend streusel ingredients together until butter is pea sized. Sprinkle generously over the top of each muffin.
  • Bake for 20 minutes, let cool before serving.
  • FOR ICING: Mix sugar, zest, salt and juice together in microwave safe bowl. Add butter, then microwave for about 30-40 seconds. Whisk to ensure no lumps with a fork. While icing is still hot, glaze the muffins. The icing will harden as it cools.
