Orange Scented Sour Cream Muffins With Poppy Seed Streusel image

I make these muffins every Christmas and this year I made them for Thanksgiving too - they smell and taste amazing, lots of different flavors going on with a pretty poppy seed streusel on top! Always a big hit! Recipe comes from the Cooking Light 2005 Holiday magazine (the ultimate resource for holiday cooking!!) and I can't believe no one has posted them yet!

Time 33m

Yield 18 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 15

3 tablespoons sugar
2 tablespoons flour
1 tablespoon butter, melted
1 teaspoon poppy seed
2 cups flour
3/4 cup sugar
2 teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt (optional)
3/4 cup fat-free buttermilk
1/4 cup butter, melted
1 -2 tablespoon orange zest (I use zest of one orange)
1 teaspoon vanilla
1 egg, lightly beaten
1 (8 ounce) container reduced-fat sour cream (don't use fat-free, they don't turn out as well)

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 375 and prepare muffin tins.
  • Prepare Struesel - combine all ingredients. Set aside.
  • For the muffins, in a large bowl, combine flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda and salt, if using, until combined. Make a well in the center.
  • In a separate medium bowl, combine buttermilk and remaining muffin ingredients.
  • Pour mixture into well of flour mixture.
  • Stir with a wooden spoon until just combined - will be lumpy.
  • Spoon batter into muffin cups and sprinkle evenly with poppy seed struesel.
  • Bake for 18-20 minutes until golden brown.
  • Remove to wire racks to cool immediately.
  • These freeze well. Place on counter several hours until thawed or, if eating directly from freezer, reheat in microwave for 15 seconds until warm (not hot).
