I had my first lemon crumble muffin at this play centre we take the kids to. I loved the different textures, the soft almost marshmallow like muffin, topped with crunchy, crumble pieces and hinted throughout with lemon.. mmm! My father in law and husband demolished the whole lot of these with ease, and that speaks volumes.
