Ingredients

• 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
• 1 teaspoons vanilla extract
• 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

Directions

Step 1

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

Step 2

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

Step 3

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

Step 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.

Step 5

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

Step 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.

Step 7

Sprinkle the streusel topping evenly over each muffin.

Step 8

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

Step 9

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

Step 10

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