In the quaint seaside town of Lighthouse Point, there was a little bakery known for its extraordinary Lemon Crumb Muffins with Lemon Glaze. The bakery, run by a cheerful baker named Mrs. Rosemary, was a cornerstone of the community, not just for its baked goods but also for the warmth it provided to the townsfolk.

The secret behind these famous muffins was an old family recipe passed down to Mrs. Rosemary from her grandmother, who was believed to have magical baking skills. These muffins were more than just a treat; they were a symbol of love and tradition, embodying the spirit of Lighthouse Point.

Mrs. Rosemary’s Lemon Crumb Muffins were the highlight of every town gathering, be it a festival, a wedding, or a simple Sunday brunch. The townspeople often said that the muffins had the power to bring sunshine even on the gloomiest days.

One summer, a young culinary student named Emily visited Lighthouse Point. She was on a quest to find unique recipes for her final project. Upon tasting the Lemon Crumb Muffins, Emily was enchanted. She knew she had to learn the secret behind these delightful treats.

Emily approached Mrs. Rosemary, asking if she could learn how to bake the famous muffins. Mrs. Rosemary, who had always believed in sharing her knowledge, agreed to teach Emily. Under her guidance, Emily learned not just the technique but also the love and care that went into making each muffin.

As Emily mastered the art of baking these muffins, she also discovered the beauty of Lighthouse Point and the close-knit community that cherished Mrs. Rosemary and her bakery. The experience taught her that baking was more than just mixing ingredients; it was about creating joy and bringing people together.

Emily returned to her culinary school with not just a recipe but a story of community, tradition, and the magic of baking. And in Lighthouse Point, Mrs. Rosemary’s bakery continued to be a beacon of joy, with the aroma of Lemon Crumb Muffins forever wafting through its doors.

Divide this batter among the muffin cups.
3. For the crumb topping, combine 1/2 cup flour, granulated sugar, brown sugar, melted butter, and cinnamon to form a crumbly mixture. Sprinkle this over the muffin batter.
4. Bake the muffins for 20 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean. Allow to cool in the tin for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack.
5. For the glaze, whisk together the powdered sugar and lemon juice until smooth. Drizzle this over the cooled muffins.

Notes

Always use fresh lemons for the best flavor.

For the crumb topping, mix until just crumbly; do not overmix.

Let the muffins cool before applying the glaze for a neater finish.
