Lemon Raspberry Crumb Muffins

As much as I love chocolate, I have to admit that lemon comes in a close second, or maybe even an equal for my taste buds.  Something about it, especially when it’s fresh lemons, I just ADORE.

I had been craving something lemon, so last weekend I got out my zester and set out to decide what to make.  My initial plan was to make my lemon raspberry bread, but I looked at the recipe and didn’t quite have everything I needed.  I wanted to do a muffin, but what to do? What to do?  My Spiced Crumb Banana Muffins  are a favorite of mine, I love that crumb topping most of all, so I decided to go that direction.

But I couldn’t fathom not having that tart lemon glaze from the bread … so why not do it all?

I baked up a moist lemon muffin, stirred in some plum fresh raspberries,  sprinkled them with a crumb topping and baked them.  When they were still warm I drizzled a slightly tart lemon glaze over the tops.  Luscious Lemon LOVE!
