Chocolate Chip Lemon Streusel Muffins



Servings

12 muffins


Ingredients

3 tablespoons unsalted butter, cubed

2 tablespoons granulated sugar

2 tablespoons light brown sugar

2/3 cup all-purpose flour

Zest from 1/2 lemon (about 1/4 teaspoon)

1/4 cup granulated sugar

2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour

1/4 cup light brown sugar

1 teaspoon baking powder

1/4 teaspoon baking soda

1/2 teaspoon salt

1 cup whole milk

5 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted and cooled

1 large egg

1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract

3 ounces (about 1/2 cup) milk chocolate morsels
1 teaspoon poppy seeds


Step 1

Preheat oven to 350° F. Line a muffin tin with muffin liners.

Step 2

Melt 3 tablespoons butter in a small saucepan. Cool. In a small bowl, mix melted butter, 2 tablespoon granulated sugar, 2 tablespoons brown sugar and 2/3 cup flour with hands until clumpy.

Step 3

Combine lemon zest and 1/4 cup granulated sugar in a large bowl. Rub the two together until fragrant. Mix in the flour, 1/4 cup brown sugar, baking powder, baking soda and salt. In a medium bowl, whisk together milk, 5 tablespoons melted butter, egg and vanilla extract. Add the wet ingredients to the dry and mix. Fold in Nestle Toll House Milk Chocolate Chips and poppy seeds. Fill muffin liners 3/4 of the way and top with a handful of streusel.

Step 4

Bake for 17 to 20 minutes, until a skewer inserted into the center comes out clean. Cool muffins in their tin for 5 minutes and then transfer to a cooling rack.
