2020 - August 4 - Orange, lemon meringue yoghurt muffins

Tuesday August 4 2020

After last week's fresh oranges in my muffins, I wanted to try something different.  I bought orange-flavored jelly powder and lemon meringue yoghurt.  On a shelf I saw Tasty Treats orange-flavoured filled biscuits.

These muffins may be a little sweet, but utterly delicious!
