🥘 Ingredients

14 items

• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 0.75 cups granulated sugar
• 2 teaspoons baking powder
• 0.25 teaspoons salt
• 1 tablespoon orange zest
• 0.5 cups fresh orange juice
• 0.5 cups buttermilk
• 0.33 cups unsalted butter, melted
• 1 large egg

• 0.5 cups light brown sugar
• 0.33 cups all-purpose flour (for streusel)
• 3 tablespoons unsalted butter, cold and diced
• 0.5 teaspoons ground cinnamon

📝 Instructions

10 steps

1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners or grease the cups generously.

2. In a large bowl, whisk together the 2 cups of all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, salt, and orange zest.

3. In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the orange juice, buttermilk, melted butter, egg, and vanilla extract until fully combined.

4. Make a well in the center of the dry ingredients and pour in the wet ingredients. Gently stir until just combined, being careful not to overmix.

5. Divide the batter evenly among the prepared muffin cups, filling each about two-thirds full.

6. To make the streusel topping, combine the brown sugar, 0.33 cups of flour, cold diced butter, and cinnamon in a small bowl. Use a pastry cutter or your fingers to cut the butter into the mixture until it resembles coarse crumbs.

7. Sprinkle the streusel topping evenly over each muffin.

8. Bake the muffins in the preheated oven for 18-22 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

9. Allow the muffins to cool in the pan for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely before serving.

10. Enjoy your Orange Streusel Topped Muffins warm or at room temperature!
