Source: Taste of Home, Healthy Cooking

Ingredients


1/4 cup butter, softened
3/4 cup sugar
2 egg yolks
1 teaspoon lemon peel
1 cup cake flour
1 cup all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 cup lemon juice
1/2 cup reduced fat lemon yogurt
4 egg whites
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
2 tablespoons brown sugar
1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
1 tablespoon cold butter
1/4 cup chopped walnuts

Directions
Preheat oven to 375 degrees. In a large bowl, beat butter and sugar until crumbly. Beat in egg yolks and lemon peel. Combine the flours through baking soda; add to the butter mixture alternating between the lemon juice and yogurt.

In a small bowl, with clean beaters, beat egg whites until stiff peaks form. Fold into batter. Coat a muffin tin with cooking spray or use paper liners. Fill 2/3 full with batter.

For streusal, combine the 2 tablespoons of flour through nutmeg; cut in the butter until crumbly. Stir in walnuts. Sprinkle over muffins. Bake for 15-20 minutes or until toothpick comes out clean (mine only took about 15 minutes). Cool for 5 minutes on wire rack, then remove from pan.
