📝 Preparation Steps
1
Crumb topping:
2
Preheat oven to 375°F. Line a 12-count muffin pan with paper liners.

Crumb topping

For the topping: In a medium-sized bowl rub the sugar and lemon zest together with your fingers. Stir in the flour. Add the cubed butter and use your fingers to rub the butter into the flour/sugar until all of the butter is in small pieces and the mixture resembles sand. Place in the refrigerator while you continue with the recipe.

Wet ingredients

In a separate bowl, whisk, sour cream, sugar, lemon juice, lemon zest, eggs, almond extract, and melted butter. You can do this by hand with a whisk or with a hand mixer. Mix until just combined. Don't over mix.

Combine wet and dry
11
Pour the wet ingredients over the dry and carefully stir with a rubber spatula until the two mixtures are just combined (it will be thick and a little lumpy. That's OK. Don't overmix). Carefully stir in the blueberries.

Place in muffin pan
13
Evenly divide the batter among the muffin cups (I use an ice cream scoop). Sprinkle the crumb topping on top of each muffin cup, lightly pressing the crumb onto the top of the muffin batter.
14
Bake for ⏱️ 18-23 minutes, until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Place the pan on a wire rack to cool for ⏱️ 5-10 minutes, then remove each muffin to cool completely.

Icing:

Whisk all ingredients until smooth. Adjust to your desired consistency by adding more powdered sugar to thicken or more lemon juice to thin. Drizzle icing over cooled muffins.
