Ingredients

Muffin Tops

Icing

  • 1/2 cup powdered sugar
  • 2 teaspoons lemon juice
  • 1 teaspoon milk

Steps

  • 1
    Heat oven to 400°F (375°F for dark or nonstick pan). Line large cookie sheet with cooking parchment paper; set aside.
  • 2
    In medium bowl, stir muffin tops mix, water, oil and egg just until blended (batter will be thick). Stir in almonds and lemon peel.
  • 3
    Drop batter by rounded tablespoonfuls about 2 inches apart onto lined cookie sheet. Top each muffin top with streusel (from box), about 1/2 teaspoon. Bake 10 to 13 minutes or until edges are light golden brown. Immediately remove from cookie sheet to cooling rack. Cool completely.
  • 4
    In small bowl, mix Icing ingredients until smooth and thin enough to drizzle. Drizzle over muffin tops. Store in airtight container at room temperature.

Tips from the Betty Crocker Kitchens

  • tip 1
    Swap sliced almonds for chopped pecans, if desired.
  • tip 2
    Use a cookie scoop to drop batter into neatly rounded tablespoonfuls onto cookie sheet.
  • tip 3
    Parchment paper makes for easy cleanup! If you don’t have any parchment paper, grease cookie sheet.
  • tip 4
    Sprinkle muffin tops with more sliced almonds just before serving, if desired.
