Orange Streusel Muffins
Have I ever told you how much I love muffins? Well I do. And how much winter fruits are my favourite? I can never get enough of anything apple or orange and banana is ok too!
Especially when you mix in cinnamon and or chocolate then for me there is nothing better. So naturally these Orange Streusel Muffins are one of my favourites, you can really taste the orange flavour.
Muffins are great because if you are looking for something fast and easy they are perfect. In my house muffins or quick breads are always gone quickly, they’re perfect for breakfast or a fast snack, nothing beats them.

How to mix muffin batter
Although I always had a problem with the “mix only until moistened”, I would always over mix, I guess my brain was telling me the batter had to be smooth.
But when you stir muffin batter until it is smooth, your muffins become tough. So what I do is I stir 10 – 12 times and that’s it, and I mean that is it!
Don’t worry about the batter lumps, they really do disappear when baked. And you will have soft, delicious muffins.
How many muffins will you get?
I made 4 jumbo muffins (really full), but you could manage 10-12 medium or 20-24 mini muffins.
Or if you prefer a loaf or a cake shape then no problem, you can change-up these Orange Streusel Muffins into a loaf or a cake.
I would use a 7- 8 inch cake pan or a small to medium loaf pan. Baking time may be longer than for the muffins, so check after 2o minutes.
Whatever way you decide to make it I really do hope you enjoy this yummy Orange Muffin Recipe. Just remember while they are cooling on a wire rack, start the coffee or tea. Enjoy!

ORANGE MUFFINS

January 13, 2019 at 10:14 pmI tried as a cake in a springform pan (smallest I had was seven and a quarter interior dimension). The streusel melted in the oven and was sort of a gooey butter mass in the center of the cake. I did check for doneness, and when removed from springform it looked terrific. My office mates are my guinea pigs, so we will see.
