Lemon and Raspberry Muffins with Streusel Topping

Lemon and Raspberry Muffins with Streusel Topping

We’re back! I wanted to make a tasty breakfast for my kids this morning to make up for the 9-hour car ride home yesterday. I decided fresh muffins (their favorite) would hit the spot. I love raspberry and lemon together and decided they would make a perfect breakfast muffin. I added streusel topping to make it extra special and oh my… these were unbelievably good. A perfect combination of sweet and tart – absolutely delicious.

Combine flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt; blend well.

In another bowl, combine melted butter, milk, lemon juice, lemon zest, vanilla, and eggs; mix thoroughly. Slowly stir the egg mixture into the flour mixture until well blended.

On a side note:

It was a long and very busy week visiting friends and family. My 20-year reunion was amazing–it was wonderful to catch up with all the people I grew up with. The time flew by quickly and it was hard to say goodbye.
