Ingredients
muffins
- 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup sugar
- 2 large eggs, lightly beaten
- 3/4 cup milk
- 1/3 cup vegetable oil
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 2 tablespoons freshly grated orange zest
streusel
- 3 tablespoons light brown sugar
- 3 tablespoons sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- ¼ cup unsalted butter, melted
- 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
orange glaze
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 2 tablespoons freshly squeezed orange juice
- 1 teaspoon freshly grated orange zest
Instructions
muffins
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Line a muffin tin with liners.
- In a bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, cinnamon and baking soda.
- In a larger bowl, whisk together the sugar and the eggs until combined. Whisk in the milk and vegetable oil. Whisk in the vanilla extract.
- Add the dry ingredients to the wet, mixing until just combined. Stir in the orange zest. Fill the muffin liners about ⅔ of the way full. Sprinkle the crumb on top of the batter, pressing gently so it sticks to the batter.
- Bake the muffins for 18 to 20 minutes, or until the center is set and the crumb is golden. Remove the muffins and drizzle with the orange glaze. Serve!
streusel
- 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. This is what you want! Sprinkle the crumb on top of each muffin before baking.
orange glaze
- Whisk ingredients together until a smooth glaze forms. If it’s too thick, add more orange juice 1 teaspoon at a time. If it’s too thin, whisk in more sugar a few tablespoons at a time until desired consistency is reached.
