Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup vegetable oil
  • 1 cup buttermilk
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 cup fresh or frozen cranberries, coarsely chopped
  • Zest of 1 orange
  • 1/2 cup orange juice
  • 1/2 cup all-purpose flour (for streusel)
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar (for streusel)
  • 1/4 cup packed brown sugar (for streusel)
  • 1/4 cup cold butter, cut into small pieces (for streusel)
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon (for streusel)
  • Instructions

  • Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners or grease it well.
  • In a medium bowl, combine the flour, granulated sugar, brown sugar, cold butter, and cinnamon. Use a pastry blender or your fingers to cut the butter into the dry ingredients until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Set aside.
  • In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
  • In a separate bowl, whisk together the oil, buttermilk, eggs, vanilla extract, orange zest, and orange juice.
  • Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
  • Gently fold in the chopped cranberries.
  • Fill each muffin cup about 2/3 full.
  • Sprinkle the streusel topping evenly over the muffins.
  • Bake for 18-20 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
  • Let the muffins cool in the muffin tin for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
