    • Take the other half of orange zest and mix it with 1/4 cup of sugar.

    Easy To Chew

     King of The Morning Muffins are moist, have multiple solid textures, and can be processed into bite sized pieces without extensive chewing. 

    King of the morning muffins are a great easy-to-chew source of fiber. Without fiber it is more difficult to maintain a healthy weight. Fiber aids in digestion, helps sustain a healthy population of beneficial gut bacteria, and can lower ones risk of getting colorectal cancers. Also, it may lower your risk of getting cardiovascular disease and type 2 diabetes.

    Confession time. I almost never have buttermilk in my fridge. It’s great, it’s delicious, I just can’t bring myself to buy a whole carton when I only need a cup for a recipe.  The good news is that it’s super easy to make an effective buttermilk substitute. Take one cup of milk and drizzle in 1 tablespoon of lemon juice. DON’T STIR IT. That’s what my wife always says to me because my instinct is to stir it. Just let it rest for 5-10 minutes. After that, for all baking intents and purposes, it’s buttermilk.
