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!
