  1. I made a batch for the ladies at work on Secretary's Day to have with their morning coffee. They were a big hit! The muffins were so easy to make and extremely moist and delicious. I was a little worried that the batter seemed thick (almost like corn bread) and that it would be "crumbly" when done. I added just one ingredient: I sprinkled the top of the muffins with powdered sugar. I will definitely make them again very soon. Thank you for this teriffic recipe!

  2. I made this as part of Worldwide Recipezaar Day. This is an ideal breakfast muffin. I added 100 grams of bittersweet chocolate to the orange mix in the blender, and the combo of orange and chocolate was delicious. The house really smelled great as they were baking away.

  3. I have never tried making orange muffins before and these are sooo good. My Assyrian husband says they are similar to a type of "bread" his mom makes. They also were devoured by my very fussy daugther. Thanks for the recipe!!

  4. These were very good. Moist, with a delicious smell as they bake. I did add the miniature chocolate chips (as suggested in the description), which I would do again - I used a scant 1/2 cup. The taste and texture was very nice, very very orangey. I would make these again. Very easy to make, too. The only thing that didn't "wow" me was the appearance - they didn't puff up as nicely as I expected and had a bumpy appearance, despite careful mixing by hand.

  1. I followed the recipe exactly but used blood oranges because they were all we had. They turned out a dark green color but tasted amazing! Next time we have them I'll try this with regular oranges but if you don't mind the appearance, I'd recommend using the blood orange replacement.

  2. I doubled the recipe & added a bag of frozen (thawed) cranberries. YUM!

  3. I made these tonight with a few modifications: I used applesauce in place of butter, and whole-wheat flour in place of white. Also, I added 1/2 tsp. of salt and 1/2 tsp. cinnamon. They are awesome!!! Dense, but not dry and crumbly and the perfect amount of orange flavor. I don't mind the appearance, they are "rustic" looking and I like that. Since I made them for my kids I also made a glaze out of powdered sugar & orange juice and dipped the tops in the glaze (actually, I poked holes in the muffins first with a fork while still warm, then dipped them...twice) and I put sprinkles on them too. I will definitely make this recipe again!

  4. Always fill your muffin cups to the top and you get a lovely crown top. Also I use coconut oil instead of butter and it tastes nicely with orange. These are beautiful muffins. Thank you.

  5. i followed other tweaks and added a few dashes of cinnamon, and 1/2 tsp salt, creamed butter and sugar and eggs (i used 2 eggs) and added about 7 dashes of ANGOSTURA ORANGE BITTERS.... these muffins are absolutely DELICIOUS!!!!!! i added some chocolate chips too but they were not necessary... the muffin is fantastic on its own... so glad i tried this recipe. (i live in the caribbean and our oranges are very different from those in the states.... so i was skeptical about trying this recipe ... but it worked out really well)
