Orange Streusel Muffins

Instructions

1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a muffin tin with paper liners or grease it lightly.

2. In a mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt until well combined.

3. In a separate bowl, whisk together the melted butter, milk, eggs, orange zest, and orange juice until smooth.

4. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; a few lumps are okay.

5. For the streusel topping, combine the flour, sugar, softened butter, and cinnamon in a small bowl. Mix with a fork or your fingers until crumbly.

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

7. Sprinkle the streusel topping generously over each muffin, pressing it lightly to adhere to the batter.

8. Bake the muffins in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.

9. Remove the muffins from the oven and allow them to cool in the pan for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

10. Serve these Orange Streusel Muffins warm or at room temperature, and store any leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days. They also freeze well for longer storage.
