The other day we were in Costco and they always have lots of great samples. One of the samples was Lemon Cranberry Muffins samples. I didn’t want to pay the high prices for all the muffins, so I started to look for some recipes.
I love to make muffins with sour cream. They are so moist. I also wanted to add a streusel topping. I am really happy at how this recipe came out.
Lemon Cranberry Muffins With Streusel Topping
Ingredients
- 7 Tablespoon butter, softened
- ⅓ sour cream
- 1 large egg yolk
- 1 large egg
- 1 teaspoon almond extract
- ¾ cup sugar
- 1 ½ cups all purpose flour
- ¾ teaspoon salt
- 1 ½ teaspoon baking powder
- 1 Tablespoon lemon zest
- 1 Tablespoon poppy seeds
- ¾ cup cranberries
Streusel Topping
- 3 Tablespoon butter
- ½ cup all purpose flour
- 3 Tablespoon sugar
INSTRUCTIONS
- Preheat oven to 375*. Line a cupcake tin with cupcake liners and set aside.
- In a small bowl make the streusel. Combine the butter, flour and sugar in a bowl. Using your fingers, mix together until crumbly. Set aside.
- In a medium bowl, mix together butter, milk, egg yolk, egg, and almond extract.
- In a large bowl, whisk together the sugar, flour, baking powder, and salt.
- Fold the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients.
- Add the lemon zest, poppy seeds, and cranberries until just combined.
- Fill 12 muffin tins about ¾ full and sprinkle the streusel over the muffin batter.
- Bake muffins for 20-22 minutes, or until golden on top and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
- Let it cool and enjoy!
Makes 12 muffins.

I love using sour cream in muffins. They're rich but not quite as sweet.
Thanks for sharing your recipe at Motivation Monday!
