If you are like me and you love key lime pie, these muffins are for you. I am so tired of this awful, cold winter that I wanted to make something to remind me of the spring and summer. These muffins are so delicious that they could also be a dessert. Just saying.

If you like it more limey (is that a word?) then you can always add more lime juice. It’s super important to use FRESH key lime juice though. It will be worth it. I promise.
You can also top these with unsweetened shredded coconut if you’d like. That will make them more tropical, which I think we can all use now. The glaze on these muffins is AMAZING!!
I hope you enjoy these~
I love new recipes.

Super easy and great flavor. My kiddos helped make them and loved them.
Oh I am so glad to hear that Jill! Thank you for telling me 🙂
Thee look supper yummy! Definitely trying these! Is whole wheat pastry flour different from normal whole wheat flour?
Hi Sara! Basically, whole wheat pastry flour is a little softer than regular whole what flour. You can try the regular one if you only have that but the texture may be a little different. Let me know how you like them! Thanks for stopping by!
