These are the best orange cranberry muffins ever! They are super tender, fluffy, and moist with a sweet and tart flavor. They are topped with a delicious brown sugar streusel that gives them extra sweetness and crunch!
Preheat the oven to 425 degrees and prepare a muffin tin with paper liners.
Add the flour, salt, sugar, and baking powder in a mixing bowl and whisk with a fork.
Combine the wet ingredients, eggs, vanilla extract, butter, buttermilk, oil, orange zest, and sugar in a bowl and mix until combined.
Gently fold the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients using a spatula.
Mix just until the dry ingredients are moistened, not fully mixed until smooth. The batter should have lumps in it.
Add in the cranberries and just barely mix until coated in batter.
Prepare a cupcake tin with paper liners and fill 1/4 cup of batter each.
In a small bowl, combine the streusel ingredients and then crumble 2-3 tbsp over the top of each muffin.
Bake in a 425-degree oven for 8-10 minutes or until golden brown.

Notes
Do not over-mix the batter; muffin batter should be lumpy, and not smooth.Cooking times will vary depending on many factors. Check the muffins after 8 minutes and see if they need more time. Use good quality ingredients such as organic eggs, pure vanilla, and whole butter when baking.
