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!
