Ingredients

MUFFINS
  • 1 3/4 cups all purpose flour
  • 3/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/2 tsp kosher salt
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • 1 tsp baking soda
  • 1/3 cup vegetable oil
  • 1 large egg
  • 3/4 cup orange juice freshly squeezed is best
  • 1 tsp orange zest
  • 1 - 1 1/2 cups fresh cranberries
STREUSEL TOPPING
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/3 cup all purpose flour
  • 1/3 cup unsalted butter cold
  • 1 1/4 tsp ground cinnamon

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Preheat oven to 400°F. Line a standard 12 cup muffin pan with paper liners and set aside.
COMBINE MUFFIN INGREDIENTS
  1. In a mixing bowl, add flour, sugar, salt, baking powder and baking soda, and whisk to combine.
  2. To the flour mixture, add vegetable oil, egg, and orange juice and whisk until combined.
  3. Use a rubber spatula to fold in the orange zest and cranberries.
ADD BATTER TO PAN
  1. Scoop/pour batter into the prepared muffin pan, filling the liners about 3/4 of the way up. Set aside.
MAKE TOPPING
  1. In a small bowl, add all topping ingredients and cut the butter into the mixture using a pastry cutter, two forks, or just your fingers. Once you get pea-sized clumps, you're good.
ADD TOPPING AND BAKE
  1. Sprinkle topping on top of muffin batter. Bake 20-23 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean or with a few moist crumbs.
COOL
  1. Remove muffin pan from oven and let muffins cool in the pan for a few minutes, then transfer to a wire cooling rack to continue cooling.
