Sweetly simple clementine muffins are ideal for cozy mornings.
I have trouble getting up in the morning. This isnโt an uncommon thing, but considering I sleep past 8, it shouldnโt be happening. Sure, these days Iโve been staying up later than I should, but if I get up when the rest of the family does, my body is clamoring for a nap just after lunch.
Right now, the main problem with lazily sleeping in is that my stomach starts a rebellion. If I donโt get out of bed at exactly the right moment and get some food in my mouth immediately, there is digestive hell to pay for hours.
Such as it is when youโre trying to grow a baby. After years of training oneself to only eat when you feel hunger, now you have to eat before youโre hungry.
One of the solutions Iโve relied on is batches of muffins โ quick to make the night before, quick to grab and eat in the morning. My favorite is blueberry streusel muffins, but those are more ideal in the summer.
Since weโre still full-on in citrus season and have been plowing through bags of clementines, I thought it would be fun to snag a few from the fruit bowl and make a citrus muffin.
Lightly flavored with juice and zest, these muffins are a great addition to the breakfast table. Theyโre best served right out of the oven, of course, but can be kept in an airtight container for a couple days, or frozen for future snacking (just reheat for about 30 seconds in the microwave).
