Ingredients

For muffin batter:

  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter room temperature
  • 3/4 cup brown sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 2 oranges zested
  • 1/2 cup plain Greek yogurt
  • 2 tablespoons minced rosemary
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla bean paste
  • 1-3/4 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 2 tablespoons milk
  • 2 tablespoons orange juice
  • 1-1/2 cup fresh cranberries

For oat topping:

For glaze:

  • 3 tablespoons powdered sugar
  • 2 teaspoons orange juice

Instructions

For muffins:

  • Preheat over to 350 degrees F and line a 12-count muffin pan with paper liners, set aside.
  • In the bowl of an electric mixer add butter and cream for 1 minute.
  • Add in the brown sugar and cream for another 2 minutes.
  • Add in eggs, orange zest, yogurt, minced rosemary, and vanilla bean paste. Mix for 1-2 minutes or until the mixture is combined. Don't worry it will look unhomogenized but it's ok.
  • In a large bowl whisk together flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt.
  • Pour the wet mixture into the flour and stir to combine.
  • Once the mixture starts coming together and you don't see a lot of flour add the milk and orange juice. Continue stirring until the dough is together.
  • Fold in the cranberries.
  • Add equal amounts of the batter to the prepared muffin pan.
  • Top each muffin with the oat topping. You want to use all the topping so don't be afraid to really top those muffins.
  • Bake for about 25 minutes or until the muffins are fully cooked.
  • After you pull the muffins out of the oven let them cool for 10 minutes and drizzle with glaze.

For oat topping:

  • Add all ingredients to a small bowl and stir to combine.
  • Once fully combined set aside. If the mixture gets set up while you make the batter it's ok. Just break it apart with your hands.

For glaze:

  • Whisk together until smooth.
  • If it’s too thick add a little more orange juice. If it’s too thin add a little more powdered sugar.
