Ingredients
  

  • 2 cups organic all purpose flour (or non organic)
  • 2 tsp baking powder
  • 1/2 tsp fine sea salt
  • 1/2 cup organic raw fine sugar
  • 1 tbsp orange zest
  • 1/3 cup olive oil or avocado oil
  • 1/2 cup Greek yogurt
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1/3 cup orange juice, freshly squeezed (2 medium oranges)
  • 1½ cup fresh or frozen cranberries
Streusel Topping:
  • 2½ tbsp organic flour
  • 1 tbsp raw fine sugar
  • 1 tbsp unsalted butter

Equipment

  • muffin tin

Method
 

  1. Preheat oven to 400°F. Lightly grease or line a 12 cup muffin tin with paper muffin cups.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, whisk flour, baking powder and salt.
  3. In a medium bowl, add sugar and orange zest. Using your fingers, crumble the zest and blend into the sugar. Whisk in the olive/vegetable oil, yogurt, eggs, and orange juice until well combined.
  4. Pour the sugar mixture into the flour mixture, stir just until the flour is blended throughout. Fold in the cranberries. Then using an ice cream scooper, divide the batter among the muffin cups.
  5. Streusel Topping: mix together flour and sugar and then break butter into small pieces into the mixture. Sprinkle lightly on top of each muffin. You may need to flatten the batter to allow the topping to sit on top of the muffins.
  6. Bake muffins for 20-22 minutes ,until golden in colour and a toothpick insert comes out clean. Allow to cool for a few minutes.
