Lime Breakfast Muffins

Muffins are a great breakfast treat. I really like the zip from the fresh lime in this recipe. They are moist on the inside and have a little crunch on the outside. When I make muffins, which according to my kids is a lot, we snack on them all day. This recipe is also great with lemons or oranges or a combination of the two. Make up a batch and see how quick they disappear!
