Magdalenas are one of Spain's favorite breakfast treats. These moist muffins are light and fluffy, with a hint of lemon, a perfect pairing for coffee or hot 'chocolate a la taza'. Not too sweet, magdalenas muffins are made with eggs and olive, adding a richness and smooth texture

We are big fans of magdalenas, a breakfast favorite when we visit Spain. These are by far the best we have ever tried outside of an artisan bakery.

They are made by a small, family-owned bakery near the city of Cordoba. They have been producing these incredible magdalenas for nearly 100 years using the original recipe.

Serving tip: warm these muffins for a few seconds in the microwave, it takes them to another level!
