Slowly drizzle in the oil while mixing.
Add vanilla and orange zest (if using).
Mix again.
In a large bowl, combine the flour, salt, baking powder, and cinnamon.
Add the dry ingredients a bit at a time.
Occasionally scrape down the sides until the flour mixture is completely mixed.
Line a muffin pan with cupcake wrappers.
Pour ¾ of the mixture to each of the wrappers.
Once the oven is ready, place the muffin pan inside the oven.
Immediately lower the oven to 400 degrees F.
