Ingredients

• Topping:
• 2 cups flour
• 1/3 cup sugar
• 1 tablespoon baking powder
• One half teaspoon salt
• One large egg
• 1/4 cup vegetable oil
• 3/4 cup 1% milk
• 1/4 cup orange juice
• 1/8 teaspoon orange oil or one half teaspoon grated orange peel
• One cup sweetened dried cranberries coarsely chopped
• 1/4 cup finely chopped pecans
• 1/4 cup brown sugar firmly packed
• One half teaspoon cinnamon

Preparation

Step 1

Preheat oven to 400°
In a medium size bowl whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt, then toss the cranberries in the mix and stir to coat.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the egg, oil, milk, orange juice, and orange peel or oil. Gently and thoroughly mix the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients.
Using a quarter cup measure, pour the batter into 12 lightly greased muffin cups, filling them about 3/4 full.
Combine all of the topping ingredients. Sprinkle a scant tablespoon of topping over the batter in each muffin cup. Bake for 20 minutes or until they're nicely browned and a cake tester inserted into the center comes out clean.
