Mildly sweet Lilac Streusel Muffins are made with real lilac flowers, sweetened with homemade lilac sugar, and tinted with a floral, fragrant homemade lilac syrup. If that wasn't enough, the streusel crumb topping is super easy to make and adds a nice flaky crunch to the top of the deliciously soft and moist muffin!

Ingredients

For the Muffin Base:

1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
3/4 cup lilac sugar https://investrush.live/lilac-infused-sugar/%3C/a%3E%3C/span%3E%3C/li%3E%3Cli class="wprm-recipe-ingredient" style="list-style-type: disc;" data-uid="3">1/2 teaspoon salt
2 teaspoons baking powder
1/3 cup vegetable oil
1 large egg
1/3 cup milk
2 cups lilac petals

For the Muffin Streusel Topping:

Instructions

Preheat oven to 375 degrees F and line a muffin tin with paper liners. Set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, lilac sugar, salt and baking powder.
In another bowl, whisk together the egg, oil and milk.
Pour the wet mixture into the dry mixture. Stir to combine.
Add the lilac petals and fold into the muffin batter.
Divide the batter evenly among the twelve muffin liners. Set aside.
Next, use a fork to smash together the streusel topping. It should look lumpy and coarse. Evenly top the muffins with the streusel topping.
Bake for 20 to 25 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.
Allow the baked muffins to cool for 5 minutes in the muffin tin. Remove and transfer to a wire baking rack to cool completely.
Store in air-tight container or in a lidded cake stand for up to 3 days.
