sun egg muffins

I pulled out all the Spring books this past weekend when we welcomed the new season. One of my favorites is The Sun Egg by Elsa Beskow

The book inspired me to do some baking and what luck I had all the ingredients to make these orange pecan muffins. They are delicious. The recipe is from the Buttercup Bake Shop Cookbook and the muffins are called Orange Glazed Muffins however I left off the glaze and just sprinkled a little sugar on top and then put them back in the oven for a few minutes after I had turned off the heat
