So if a recipe starts with rubbing sugar and zest together I know it will be a winner. And it was. What a perfect recipe to bring some sunshine in my kitchen. I think this recipe was a taste of Spring. It contained orange zest, orange juice, lemon juice and lemon extract. I used dates instead of currants--delicious.
This is a recipe you will want to make often; next time I think I will make mini muffins. Whatever size they are excellent. Check Lauryn's blog Bella Baker for the complete recipe.

what a good idea to use dates. they are my hub's favorite dried fruit, so i should try that sometime.
I just loved rubbing that citrus with the sugar, didn't you? It did smell sooooo good. Your muffins are lovely.
Hmm, I have a load of dates in the fridge, so maybe I will make these again! They were so good.

I feel the same way-any citrus rubbed sugar mixture has to be divine. The dates sound great!
I love citrus at the moment, so this recipe is a great addition to my folder. Thanks
These muffins had great flavor, but needed some fruit for texture. I like the idea of using dates.
