Lemon Sunrise Muffins

I'm a huge fan of lemon...lemon cake, lemon cookies, lemon candy, lemon pie.  You name it, I'm there!!  However, I had never made lemon muffins before until my oldest daughter had a friend stay the night.  We got up needing something fresh and yummy to wake us up for the day.  I looked through the cabinets and found a lemon cake mix and lemon pudding mix.  Hmmmm...  After a few minutes I thought, why not?  I created a simple lemon muffin with crumble topping and lemon pudding glaze.  I think they were a hit.  My oldest daughter ate 3 fresh out of the oven.  Hope they make your morning as happy as ours!!
