These gluten free blood orange cinnamon streusel muffins are perfect for a delicious snack.
This week is all about blood oranges.
I haven’t had much of a chance to use these in my baking because they usually disappear pretty quickly in our house. Blood oranges have a distinctly sweet flavor and my kids just can’t get enough of them.
I promised my family muffins this week so I decided to use the one lonely blood orange instead of our usual blueberries. If you are looking for a delicious blueberry muffin recipe, try these gluten free blueberry muffins.
These gluten free coffee cake muffins are very quick to make.
I cut up the blood oranges into small bite-sized pieces.
Gently mix the wet and dry ingredients.
Mix up a simple streusel topping.
Pour the batter into lined muffin cups.
Top the batter with streusel topping.
Baked with the streusel topping.

Would it be possible to use Blood Orange Olive oil rather than melted butter?
