Instructions
For the muffin batter
- Preheat the oven to 400° F. Coat a 12 cup muffin tin with cooking spray.
- Combine flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda and salt in a large bowl; make a well in center of mixture.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the buttermilk, butter, orange zest, vanilla extract and egg.
- Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and mix until just combined. Fold in the cranberries.
- Spoon the batter evenly into the muffin tins.
For the streusel
- Place the sugar, flour and cinnamon in a bowl. Stir to combine. Add the butter and use two forks or a pastry blender to cut the butter into the flour mixture until a crumbly dough forms.
- Sprinkle the streusel mixture over the tops of the muffins.
- Bake the muffins for 16-18 minutes or until lightly browned. Remove muffins from pan; cool on a wire rack.
For the glaze
- In a small bowl, mix together the powdered sugar and orange juice. Drizzle the glaze over the muffins, then serve.
Notes
- No buttermilk on hand? You can make your own for this recipe by combining 1 1/4 cups milk with 1 tablespoon of lemon juice. Let the mixture sit for 10 minutes, then proceed with the recipe as directed.
- I use a microplane to zest my oranges, it works so much better than a typical box grater.
- These muffins stay fresh at room temperature for up to 3 days in an airtight container.
