Breakfast muffins for a snack

Today I was craving some muffins and I remembered this muffin recipe from Nigella Bites book. Nowadays I get all my recipes online, but years ago I would buy recipe books. I like a lot of Nigella's recipes from her book, but one of my favorites is this orange breakfast muffin recipe. This recipe reminds me of when Andrew and I first got married. When it was just the two of us in our first apartment. I would make these muffins on the weekends and we would have them with coffee in the morning. Today I made them for the girls and we ate them at snack time. They thought it was a treat, since there was a lot of jelly involved.



This batter smells so good. I love anything that has the smell of oranges.







Snack time is one of my favorite times of the day with the girls, because I enjoy sitting with them and talking, and giggling. I give the girls two snacks a day, one mid morning and another around 3:00. These muffins really hit the spot for the morning snack today.
