These lemon poppy seed streusel muffins are light, airy, and full of lemon flavor. Topped with a crunchy, buttery streusel topping. I have made these muffins for Mother’s Day and many weekends brunches, they are a crowd favorite every time! A one-bowl recipe that comes together quickly, using the Hamilton Beach Professional Hand Mixer with Easy Clean Beaters! The easy clean beaters won’t clog and ensures your batter is evenly combined, not overmixed. The Slow Startโข technology allows you to gradually add all of these ingredients in while reducing messy splatters.
Tools I used for this recipe:
- Hamilton Beach Professional Hand Mixer with Easy Clean Beaters – the perfect tool to have for muffins, cakes, or quick breads. The easy clean beaters won’t clog and the Slow Startโข technology turns on slowly at the lowest speed to reduce messy splatters, making it easier to gradually add ingredients!
- Rubber Spatula โ a must for any home baker! Perfect for scrapping batter out of the mixing bowl.
- Non-stick Muffin Tin โ just one of those pans you need!
- White Paper Liners โ a good basic muffin or cupcake liner to have on hand
Using the Hamilton Beach Professional Hand Mixer with Easy Clean Beaters makes whipping up these muffins a breeze! No more cleaning batter out of wire beaters!
Fill each muffin cup 2/3rds of the way full & top evenly with streusel topping!
