Cranberry Orange Coffee Cake Muffins
Description
This muffin recipe blends all-purpose flour with baking powder, cinnamon, baking soda, salt, and sugar to create a spiced dry mix. Wet ingredients including eggs, milk, vegetable oil, and vanilla bring moisture and binding.
Fresh orange zest and cranberries are mixed directly into the batter before portioning into muffin liners. The streusel topping, made from sugars, cinnamon, salt, melted butter, and flour, is spooned over each muffin before baking, adding a crunchy texture on top once baked.
Baked at 350°F for 18 to 20 minutes, these muffins develop a golden crumb with a set center. They are suitable for morning meals or afternoon snacks, pairing well with coffee or tea. The combination of bright citrus and tart berries balances the sweet, spicy crumb and topping.

- To make the crumb topping, whisk together the sugar, cinnamon, salt and melted butter until combined. Whisk for a good minute or two until the sugar begins to dissolve, then use a wooden spoon to stir in the flour. The mixture will be crumb-like and dry. Almost like a sludge or sand.
