Now I'm pretty picky when it comes to muffins, but this recipe caught my eye right away. I love crunchy streusel toppings almost as much as I love anything citrus-y, so I knew these would be a hit (which they were).
The ingredients:
MUFFINS
2 cups flour (I used half whole wheat, half white)
1/3 cup sugar
1-1/2 tsp. baking powder
1 tsp. salt
1/2 cup orange juice
1/2 cup orange marmalade (or mandarin oranges, drained and cut in half)
1/4 cup milk
1/4 cup oil
1 Tbs. grated orange rind
1 egg, slightly beaten
STREUSEL TOPPING
1/4 cup sugar
1/2 cup chopped pecans
1 Tbs. flour
1/2 tsp. cinnamon
1/4 tsp. nutmeg
1 Tbs. butter
For streusel topping: Combine all ingredients until crumbly. Set aside.
For muffins: Stir dry ingredients together. In a separate bowl combine remaining ingredients, then add to dry ingredients and stir just until moistened. Fill muffin cups 2/3 full and sprinkle streusel topping evenly over muffins. Bake at 400° for 20-25 minutes or until golden brown.
Enjoy!
