Orange Muffins with Coconut Streusel

Orange Muffins with Coconut Streusel – These sweet orange muffins are perfect for those rushed mornings when you’re running out the door!

So it’s a little late in the season I think but I’m really into oranges right now. I feel like oranges don’t get enough attention. They’re sweet and tangy and bright and smell soooo good when they’re ripe off the tree.

I pretend like my love of oranges has been ingrained in me since birth because I was born in Orange County California. Yeah I know that means nothing as far as having a palate for oranges but I can think what I want. And I think that I was born to love oranges.

Have you ever been to Disney California Adventure Park in California? You know, the next-door neighbor to Disneyland (aka: the best place on earth ever). Well if you haven’t then you are really really missing out on one of the coolest rides imaginable. Soarin’ Over California. Those of you who’ve experienced the Soarin’ magic know exactly where this is headed. The orange fields. If you’re clueless right now, take a look at this. You won’t really get it til you go on the ride though.

So plan yourself a trip and go.

You know what’s a really killer combination? Orange and coconut. Not sure why but coconut has been weaseling it’s way into a lot of my recipes lately. Check out these amazing Vanilla Coconut Muddy Buddies, Toasted Coconut & Cashew Granola, Coconut-Lime Greek Yogurt Poundcake.

Now let’s add these muffins to the list. They my new fav. At least until tomorrow when I make something else delicious.
