Cran-Orange Streusel Muffins

"Orange" you in love with these muffins?! "Cran" you say easy to make!? Happy Valentine's Day!

1/4 cup butter, softened

1/2 cup sugar

1 egg

1 cup fat-free milk

1/4 cup unsweetened applesauce

1/2 tsp vanilla extract

2 cups all-purpose flour

2 tsp baking powder

1/2 tsp salt

1 cup fresh or frozen cranberries, chopped

2-1/2 tsp grated orange peel

Streusel Topping:

2 TBSP all-purpose flour

2 TBSP brown sugar

1/4 tsp ground cinnamon

2 TBSP cold butter

In a large bowl , beat butter and sugar until crumbly, about 2 minutes. Beat in egg. Beat in milk, applesauce, and vanilla. Combine the flour, baking powder and salt; stir into butter mixture just until moistened. Fold in cranberries and orange peel.

Coat muffin cup (I used paper baking cups instead) with cooking spray; fill three-fourths full with batter. For topping, combine the flour, brown sugar and cinnamon in a small bowl. Cut in butter until crumbly. Sprinkle over batter.

Bake at 400 for 18-22 min or until toothpick inserted comes out clean.
