Making Tuesday Tasty-Orange Muffins

I made these for our brunch on Sunday. I liked them because they weren't overpowering with orange flavor. A nice hint of orange. To be honest though, they came out a little dry after trying to keep them warm so, I might have taken these out a couple of minutes early. You may have to check them often depending on how hot your oven cooks. This is listed as an old Mennonite recipe.

Ingredients

2 cups all-purpose flour

2 teaspoons baking powder

1/4 teaspoon baking soda

2 eggs

1/2 cup ground walnuts (optional)

1 tablespoon melted butter

Pour into 12 muffin cups.
