Blueberry Struesel Muffins With A Lemon Glaze


I have been needing to use up some of my fresh blueberries and lemons that I bought a while ago, and I came across this recipe from an old church recipe book. It sounded so good, I couldn’t resist! It not only has blueberries, but cinnamon and fresh lemon zest. Top that with a yummy struesel topping and a fresh lemon glaze, and what you’ve got is one amazing muffin!

Hot fresh out of the oven, these muffins are irresistable! You have to try them for yourself! I used my jumbo muffin tins for these yummy treats, but you could also use just a regular muffin pan as well. As for me, the bigger the better!
