Step 7 – Sprinkle the crumb topping on top of the batter and gently press it into the batter with your hands.  

  • Step 8 – Bake for 15-17 minutes until a toothpick inserted into the center of the muffins comes out clean. 
  • Step 9 – Whisk together the glaze ingredients in a small bowl. If the glaze is too thin, add in more confectioner’s sugar and if the glaze is too thick, add in more milk, until the glaze is a good pour-able consistency. 
  • Step 10 – Cool the muffins for 15 minutes on wire rack.  Drizzle the glaze on top of the muffins.  
  • Step 11 – Allow the glaze on the muffins to set and then the muffins are ready to serve and enjoy! 

Recipe Tips

  • Room Temperature Ingredients – Make sure that the melted butter has cooled to room temperature before whisking it with the milk and eggs. So that it does not cook the eggs.  
  • Scooping the Batter – To evenly muffin batter into the paper liners so the muffins cook evenly. If you have problems with the muffin sticking to the paper liners after baking, you may need to spray cooking spray in the paper.
  • Baking Muffins – Cooking time will vary based on your oven and the size of your muffins.
