I thought this was a great recipe WITH orange zest added. I zested a tangerine actually, and then used the juice from it as my juice and added undiluted concentrate to make the full half cup. I also used whole wheat flour and some molasses because I used the whole wheat and had no brown sugar. I didn't add the topping, to save on calories, and it was still great.

My 11 year old made this. I couldn't taste it due to my diet. The kids love it, they said they couldn't taste any orange flavor but it was so good.

I followed this recipe almost exactly, though I did add a teaspoon of orange zest to the muffin batter to boost the orange flavor that I love. The result was a truly beautiful looking muffin that my husband loved, with a nice tang that contrasted well with the cinnamon sugar swirl in the middle and the streusel topping. Definitely a keeper!

These were WONDERFUL! I'd rate them 4 1/2 stars as is, but that's not an option, so they're 5 stars anyway. I added 1 t. orange extract with the vanilla, and I think I'd even add another t. of the orange. And I think I might have accidentally used 1 t. of baking powder instead of 2, which made them an absolutely WONDERFUL texture. (We're at high altitude, so we're supposed to reduce leavening, so this may not be a good idea at sea level.)

These were very dry, like a dry homemade cake. Desperately in need of moistness in some form. Try the raspberry streusel muffins from this site instead, but make them with blueberries. Now that's a muffin!

My three year old niece loved these and the adults liked them too. Not too sweet. I made the recipe in a mini-muffin pan (baked about 12 min.) and it yielded 38 baby muffins.

These were a HUGE hit in our house I didnt use buttermilk just extra OJ to fill in for it and I think it was a good move because they only had a subtle orange flavor with the extra juice so I doubt it would have had enough orange flavor without it, we love them though and they will stay the go to muffin recipe :D

These were fine, but way to much trouble for the flavor it lacked. I have some other muffin recipes that are much simpler and taste better. Plus, the orange flavor was so subtle no one even knew it was there. Maybe add some orange zest with it.
