Makes 12 muffins

Ingredients
  

  • 3 cups (375 grams) all-purpose flour
  • 2 teaspoons (10 grams) baking powder
  • 2 teaspoons (4 grams) ground cardamom
  • 1 teaspoon (2.25 grams) kosher salt, divided
  • ½ teaspoon (1 gram) ground ginger
  • ¾ cup (150 grams) granulated sugar
  • ½ cup (110 grams) firmly packed dark brown sugar
  • 3 large eggs (150 grams), room temperature
  • 2 teaspoons (6 grams) tightly packed lemon zest
  • cup (149 grams) vegetable oil
  • ½ cup (120 grams) whole milk, room temperature
  • Lemon Curd (recipe follows)
  • Oat-Pecan Streusel (recipe follows)
  • Lemon Glaze (recipe follows)

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350°F (180°C). Spray a 12-well muffin pan with baking spray with flour, or line wells with paper liners.
  • In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, cardamom, ¾ teaspoon (2.25 grams) salt, and ginger.
  • In a large bowl, whisk together sugars, eggs, and lemon zest. Add oil and milk, whisking until well combined. Add flour mixture, and fold until combined. Let stand for 30 minutes.
  • Spoon batter into prepared muffin cups, filling about three-fourths full (about 73 grams each).
  • Place Lemon Curd in a pastry bag; cut a ½-inch opening in tip. Pipe curd into center of each well until batter reaches top edge, being careful not to touch bottom or sides; lightly tap pan on a kitchen towel-lined counter, and fill in any curd that may have fallen. Spoon remaining batter over curd (about 2 teaspoons or 14 grams each). Sprinkle Oat-Pecan Streusel on top (about 1½ tablespoons each).
  • Bake until a wooden pick inserted in muffin comes out clean, about 30 minutes. Let cool in pan for about 10 minutes. Remove from pan, and let cool on a wire rack. Drizzle with Lemon Glaze. Serve warm or at room temperature.
