It's always a headache trying to think what to put in my daughter's lunch box for school. She can only have so many sandwiches before she gets sick of it. This muffins are a great snack, easy to make and fuss free, it has fruit in it and gives them energy to burn from the sugar topping.

2 tsp baking powder
1 tsp cinnamon
1/4 tsp salt

1 tsp lemon juice

Crumble
