This month I went with lemon muffins. And I decided to use yogurt in these being very summerlike. And I had some granola on hand so used that in my topper for extra crunch.

Greek Lemon Yogurt Muffins

I  love these because  they have a wonderful lemon flavor with just a touch of vanilla. The granola on top is perfect and simple. As you do not have to stir up a streusel.

I  decided against an icing drizzle since it had a granola topping/ You could still add one, stirring powdered sugar with a little milk to make a drizzle. Just make sure you sift that. Unsifted sugar does untoward things to  icing. All lumpy with specks.
