I'm off to take Maya to school, then gonna swing by the store to buy some cranberries for these yummy looking muffins this morning!



Ingredients
1/4 cup butter, softened
1/2 cup sugar
1 egg
1 cup fat-free milk
1/4 cup unsweetened applesauce
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 cups all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 cup fresh or frozen cranberries, coarsely chopped
2-1/2 teaspoons grated orange peel

STREUSEL TOPPING:
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
2 tablespoons brown sugar
1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
2 tablespoons cold butter
Directions
In a large bowl, beat butter and sugar until crumbly, about 2 minutes. Beat in egg. Beat in the 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 cups 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 minutes or until a toothpick inserted near the center comes out clean. Cool for 5 minutes before removing from pan to a wire rack. Yield: 1 dozen.
