In a small mixing bowl, beat together Greek yogurt, melted butter, eggs, Watkins Original Gourmet Baking Vanilla® and Watkins Pure Lemon Extract until smooth. Slowly stir wet ingredients into dry ingredients until thoroughly combined. Carefully fold in fresh blueberries and lemon zest.

Watkins Cinnamon Crumble Topping: In a small mixing bowl combine sugar, flour, salt, Watkins Pure Ground Cinnamon and butter. Stir together until mixture has a crumbly texture. Note: Add extra flour to thicken the topping or add more butter to soften the topping.

Watkins Lemon Glaze: In a small mixing bowl with a lid, beat together powdered sugar, milk, lemon zest and Watkins Pure Lemon Extract until smooth. Cover bowl and set to the side.

Assembly: Spoon Blueberry Muffin batter into muffin tins; fill each cup about 2/3 full. Sprinkle Watkins Pure Ground Cinnamon Crumble Topping on top of muffin batter. Bake for 18-20 minutes until they are golden brown and a toothpick comes out clean. Allow muffins to cool for 5-10 minutes. Using a spoon, drizzle Watkins Lemon Glaze over the top of each muffin.
