Delightful Orange and Almond Breakfast Muffins

These muffins are the perfect way to start your day. They're fluffy, moist, and packed with flavor. The orange zest and juice add a bright, citrusy flavor, while the almonds add a nutty crunch. These muffins are also a good source of fiber and protein, so they'll keep you feeling full and satisfied all morning long.

I first developed this recipe a few years ago when I was looking for a healthy and delicious way to start my day. I wanted something that was easy to make and that I could grab and go on my way to work. These muffins fit the bill perfectly. They're quick and easy to make, and they're portable, so I can eat them on the go or at my desk. I've been making these muffins ever since, and they've become a staple in my breakfast routine.
