Orange Poppy Seed Muffins
Muffins...the dowdy cousin of cupcakes, but somehow very appropriate before noon, when you feel bad eating cake that early! So, cake, but not. YUM.
We do our best. You know? Muffins...can be just OK in my opinion...but these are more than just OK. Because, well, we hold ourselves to a higher standard here on Tenina.com. To me muffins are the dowdy cousin of a cupcake and really the only time to eat muffins is in the morning, before noon, when you feel kind of guilty for eating a real cake! So, if you must...eat the muffins. This one is delish...and I have heard that people are subbing out the poppyseeds for chocolate. SHOCK. But you didn't hear that from me.
