In your mixing bowl, add the flour, almond flour, brown sugar, salt and lemon zest. Add chilled and cubed butter and rub it until it resembles a sand like texture. Set aside.
Step 2 - Muffin Batter
In a separate mixing bowl, add the yogurt, milk, melted butter and lemon juice. Using a whisk combine everything until homogenous.
Place a sieve on top of the bowl. Add the flour and baking powder. Sieve directly on top of the wet ingredients.
Using cut and fold method combine the dry and wet ingredients until you get a thick batter of dropping consistency.
Divide it equally between 5 muffin tin. Remember to grease the muffin tin beforehand.
Sprinkle the crumb topping evenly on top of the batter.

Notes
Do not use the store bought lemon juice for the recipe. Please use only freshly squeezed lemon juice.
Since it is a dump and go one bowl recipe, it is important to not to over-mix the batter. Mix until you do not see any bits of dry flour and stop mixing at that stage.
If you find that the lemon glaze is thick and cannot be poured then make it thin by adding few drops of lemon juice. And if you feel it is too thin and is running out add little icing sugar to it to thicken.
Ensure that you are always sifting the icing sugar before making the lemon glaze.
You can skip out the streusel topping altogether in this recipe and simply make plain lemon muffins. But I would recommend you add the lemon glaze on top.
Remember to grease the muffin pan beforehand. And also remember to pre-heat the oven.
