These muffins have wonderfully bright and citrusy flavor due to the fresh lemon and orange juice, and finely shredded zest used in the recipe.

Preheat your oven to 400 degrees and grease a 12-cup muffin tin.
Place the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt into a bowl and stir well to combine. Set aside.
In a separate bowl, combine the eggs, applesauce, milk, oil, orange and lemon peel, and orange and lemon juice.
Make a well in the center of the dry mixture and then add the egg mixture. Stir unit just combined and then transfer the batter to the prepared muffin tin.
Bake the muffins for 18 minutes or until the tops turn light brown. Cool for 5 minutes prior to serving.
