Step‑by‑Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and prepare a muffin pan with non-stick spray or liners.
  2. In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the butter for the crumble topping and let cool slightly. Mix in sugar, lemon zest, and lemon juice. Fold in flour and salt until crumbs form.
  3. In a large bowl, whisk together the melted butter, sugar, and eggs until smooth. Add yogurt, vanilla, lemon zest, and lemon juice, mixing until well blended.
  4. Stir in baking powder, baking soda, and kosher salt, then gently mix in the flour until just combined.
  5. Fill muffin cavities about two-thirds full with batter and top with crumble, pressing gently.
  6. Bake for 17-20 minutes at 350°F (175°C) until golden brown and a toothpick comes out clean.
  7. For the glaze, whisk powdered sugar with lemon juice until smooth and drizzle over cooled muffins.
