Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400ºF and line a muffin pan with paper liners.
- Start with the topping. Add all the ingredients in a small bowl, and crumble with your fingers. Refrigerate until ready to use.
- To make the muffins, you'll need 2 large bowls. In the first one, sieve the flour and mix with baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
- In the second bowl, whisk the egg, sugar, yogurt, oil, and orange zest. Whisk until the sugar is dissolved. Pour the egg mixture over the flour and stir with a spatula to combine.
- Sprinkle the cranberries with a tablespoon of flour and stir to coat. Fold the coated cranberries into the batter.
- Divide the batter among your muffin cups, filling about 2/3 of each cup. Top with the crumbly topping, and add a few cranberries on top of each muffin, just to make it look pretty.
- Bake for 5 minutes, then reduce the heat to 365ºF and continue to bake for about 15 minutes or until the toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
Notes
- To store leftovers: Store at room temperature for up to about 2 to 3 days in an airtight container. If you need to keep them for a longer period of time, store them in the fridge for up to 5 days, or in the freezer. You can microwave refrigerated muffins for about 10-15 seconds to make them taste like they are fresh out of the oven.
- To freeze: Wrap each muffin in plastic wrap, then place them in a resealable freezer bag and freeze for up to 3 months. Label the bag with the date! Let the muffins thaw at room temperature or rewarm gently in the microwave to enjoy.
