Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Line a muffin tin with parchment paper liners.

Stir sugar, flour, and oats together in a small bowl until combined. Work butter into the dry ingredients until it resembles damp sand. Set the topping aside while you prepare the muffin batter.

Step 3

Stir together applesauce, sugar, egg, and lemon zest in a large bowl. Add lemon juice and sour cream and stir until combined. Add flour, baking powder, and salt. Stir everything together until just combined.

Step 4

Spoon batter into the prepared muffin cups, filling each halfway. Sprinkle the topping on each muffin until completely covered.

Bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick comes out clean, 20 to 25 minutes. Cool in the tin for about 10 minutes before serving.
