Several months ago I had breakfast at a restaurant called The Curious Palate in Mar Vista (Venice). If you're even in that area I highly recommend you check them out, they're all about farm to table, and you know how much I love that! Anyway, we had breakfast, everything was delicious. They had these muffins and I've been looking for a recipe but I haven't been able to find one, so after experimenting a little bit, this is what I came up with. Let me know what you think.

Cranberry Rosemary Muffins
1/2 cup butter
1 cup sugar
1 cup whole wheat flour
1 unbleached flour
1 egg
2 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp baking soda
2 Tbsp orange rind
3/4 tsp salt
2-3 tsp fresh rosemary
3/4 fresh squeezed orange juice
1 cup chopped cranberries
Topping:
2 Tbsp brown sugar
2 Tbsp flour
1/2 tsp fresh rosemary
1 Tbsp butter
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Line a muffin pan with muffin liners.
In a large bowl mix all the dry ingredients and the orange rind. In a separate large bowl cream the butter and sugar until light and fluffy, beat in the egg and then the orange juice. Add the dry ingredients one cup at a time until just incorporated. Fold in the chopped cranberries. Scoop into muffin cups. In a small bowl mix the brown sugar, flour and rosemary, cut in the butter until mixture is crumbly. Sprinkle tops with brown sugar mixture.
Bake at for 25-30 minutes, or until toothpick comes out clean.
