I think this muffin recipe would be the perfect thing to surprise mom with on Mother’s Day! Make her breakfast in bed and serve up these lemon crumb muffins along with some yogurt and fresh fruit.
The sugary crumb topping is what make these muffins exceptionally good. It pairs so well with the tangy lemon flavor.
