If you read this, then you know I love muffins, assuming anyone actually does read this! Anyway, back to muffins – what I love about muffins is that they are self contained, and they can be made in cute little papers or miniatures, in so many different varieties. I have been wanting to try an orange-type muffin, I was a little apprehensive, not sure if I would like an orange-flavored bread. So when I came across this recipe for Citrus Blueberry Muffins in one of my cooking magazines, I decided I just had to try it, slightly modified of course. You know what? I liked it, and so did my co-workers. Needless to say if you like citrus and blueberries and you want some muffins, you should probably go mix up a batch. And the best part they don’t take long to bake. Go on, get baking and enjoy!
