Orange-pecan Mini Muffins

The Bible says Judas delivered Him over (Mark 3:19), and Pilate delivered Him over (Mark 15:15), and Herod and the Jewish people and the Gentiles delivered Him over (Acts 4:27-28), and we delivered Him over (1 Corinthians 15:3; Galatians 1:4; 1 Peter 2:24). It even says Jesus delivered Himself over (John 10:17; 19:30). But Paul said the ultimate thing (in Romans 8:32a). In and behind and beneath and through all these human deliverings, God was delivering His Son to death. “He who did not spare His own Son, but delivered Him up for us all.” In Judas and Pilate and Herod and Jewish crowds and Gentile soldiers and our sin and Jesus’ lamblike submission, God delivered over His Son (for our salvation). Nothing greater has ever happened.

INSTRUCTIONS

Heat oven to 400 degrees. Grease 12 regular muffin cups or more
mini-muffin tins (no exact number is given since they come in
different sizes). Combine flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt,
sugar, and grated orange peel on a piece of wax paper. Beat eggs in a
bowl and beat in orange juice. Add dry ingredients and stir gently
with a spoon until barely blended. There will still be large lumps of
flour. Add pecans and fold a few times to disperse. Lumps of flour
will remain. Fill muffin tins 2/3 full and bake until the muffins are
golden brown, about 20 minutes.  Nutritional analysis per serving:
