Blueberry Crumble Muffins with a Lemon Glaze

What’s your favorite type of muffin to eat for breakfast? Well let me tell you.. these fluffy, moist Blueberry Crumble Muffins are mouth-watering! I mean they’re kinda healthy haha. Blueberry and lemon is one of my new favorite flavor combinations. Classic blueberry muffins have always been one of my favorites, but I was tired of the “classic” muffins and wanted to spruce it up a bit but couldn’t figure out how. But… I think I did it with this recipe!

These Blueberry Crumble Muffins are really, really good and I’m not just saying that because I made them, but seriously! They are the right texture with just enough lemon in the drizzle and nice cinnamon crumble on top are a nice touch. These muffins definitely didn’t last long in our house, and I’m sure they won’t in your house either!
