Place the juice in a saucepan over medium-high heat and reduce to 1/2 cup.
Cool slightly.
Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
Spray muffin tin with cooking spray.
Sift together dry ingredients.
In a separate bowl, combine butter, yogurt, vanilla extract, orange peel and reduced orange juice.
Add egg and egg white and combine thoroughly by hand using a wire whisk.
Add dry ingredients to wet mixture in two parts.
Mix by hand until just combined.
Gently fold in cranberries.
Divide batter evenly between muffin cups.
Sprinkle 2 teaspoons of streusel topping on top of each muffin.
Bake muffins until tops are lightly golden and a toothpick comes out clean, about 35 minutes.
Remove muffin pan from oven and cool on wire rack for 5 minutes.
Remove muffins from pan and cool completely on wire rack.
