Glazed Lemon Streusel Muffins
"Found this recipe on a couple different websites and decided to give them a try. They are terrific. The muffin is a bit denser than the average muffin. Make sure to do the glaze as this certainly kicks them up a notch. Hope you enjoy!"

Oh, my! These are good! Lemon and streusal, what's not to love. They are a bit denser, as noted, but they are simply delicious. Thanks so much for sharing this keeper.
