For the Muffins

  • 2 eggs
  • 1 cup sugar
  • 1/2 cup Vegetable oil

  • 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 tsp baking soda

Glaze

  • 2/3 cup powdered sugar

Instructions
 

For the Topping

  • Preheat your oven to 375ºF and spray a 12-muffin tin with cooking spray.
  • Meanwhile in a small bowl combine the flour, sugar, pinch of salt and melted butter with a fork. The topping should be chunky. Set aside.

For the Muffins

  • In a bowl whisk the eggs until frothy, about 3-4 minutes. Add in the sugar and oil and whisk until combined. Add in lemon zest, juice, vanilla and stir to combine. Whisk in sour cream.
  • In a separate bowl whisk together the baking soda, salt and flour. Pour the wet ingredients on top of the dry and stir with a spatula or wooden spoon to combine.
  • Fill the muffin tins about 3/4 full and top with the topping.
  • Bake until a toothpick inserted comes out clean, about 18-22 minutes. Cool about 5 minutes then remove muffins from the tin and cool completely.

For the Glaze

  • In a small bowl combine the powdered sugar and lemon juice and whisk together. If the glaze seems too stiff add in more lemon juice. Drizzle over the muffins. Serve.

Serve these a tad warm for the best taste!
