Orange and Cinnamon Muffins

I love muffins. I would eat them every day for breakfast  but when I walk into a coffee shop and I see how many calories are listed, I can’t bring myself to buy them. I figured that if I make them myself I won’t have any idea calories they have. And we all know the rule that if it doesn’t say how many calories it has, then you won’t gain weight! So I decided to make these muffins . I wanted something that wasn’t too sweet and that are quick and easy to whip together and would not require me pulling out my mixer.  I added the streusel topping for a little extra crunch. I hope you like them as much as I do.
