I did not taste any orange in this AT ALL. I didn't goof up; I followed the recipe to the letter. It was just a nice tasting bread, no orange flavor whatsoever. Sorry.

These muffins were super yummy! I did change the recipe alittle just to bring out the orange flavor. I put 1 cup of orange juice instead and added 1/2 a cup more of sugar. I also added 1 cup of pecans. Put in the zest of 1 whole orange plus the juice of that orange. They were very moist. I think maybe in the future i will figure out a frosting that will work great with these. The whole family loved them! Thanks a bunch!

Extremely tasty, though I did change a few things (I nearly never follow the recipe exactly): 2c flour->1c white bread flour and 1c whole wheat flour. 3t baking powder->2t baking powder. 1/2t salt->1/4t salt. 3/4c orange juice-> 1/2c fresh squeezed o.j. 1/3c vegetable oil->1T vegetable oil. 1T orange zest-> 1 1/2T orange zest. I also added 1/4c brown sugar, 1/2t baking soda, 1/3c plain nonfat yogurt. I tested this out and it was delicious, though with the rest of the batch I added two cups of diced rhubarb and wow did they turn out tasty!

Ok the recipe was good because it was really easy and quick to make. I liked the muffins. They werent dry. I didnt add orange zest and I used fresh orange juice. My husband said the flavor was too strong. So i give this recipe three stars.

I like these muffins a lot. I baked my first batch for 20 minutes and they came out a little too dark. 17 minutes was just right.

These weren't really muffins at all, as they were rather dry. I agree with the person who stated that they were more like biscuits. They were, unfortunately, also pretty tasteless.

My roommates preferred to call these biscuits instead of muffins. Not at all soft or moist. Definitely not enough orange flavor.

I was afraid these muffins would not be orangie enough for me so I changed 2 things. I used 1/3 cup of orange juice concentrate and 1/4 cup of all fruit orange marmalade. It was wonderful. My family raved and raved.

I varied my recipe based on the other additions / deletions as follows. Replaced sugar with 2/3 cup of splenda (sugar substitute). Also, always substitue butter or oil in EVERY muffin recipe and subsituted with whatever low fat yoghurt I have in the fridge (in this case it was mango/peach. Additions were 1/2 cup of cranberries and /2 cup of walnuts & 1 tsp of vanilla. I made this recipe twice and changed my cranberries/walnuts to 1/2 cup of dark choc. chips and 1/2 cup of dessicated coconut and sprinkled extra on top of each muffin. Great basic recipe. Sometimes I don't bother with plain flour & baking powder and use self raising flour which has both ingredients in one. Of course I will make these again, they look great, taste great too! (sounds like an ad, oh well!)

I only had tangelos and used the zest from one large one instead of orange juice. I added extra orange juice, 1 tablespoon each of cinnamon and nutmeg, and they came out awesome. Perfect for breakfast or an afternoon snack with tea!

These were ok...I thought they were kind of flat and tasteless. I wanted to use some oj up, thanks for letting me try. Maybe with a sugary topping on them they would be better?

Very, very good. I made the following changes based upon other reviews and my own preferences: I subbed 1/2C whole wheat for the same amount of white flour. I added a dash of cinnamin and 4 T applesauce as well as about a 1/2C of craisens. To sweeten them up a bit, I made a drizzle for them from fresh squeezed OJ & powdered sugar. They were delicious! I will definitely make them again.

These were ok. Not the best I've ever had. Maybe if I had made a glaze with them, I would have like them better. There wasn't enough orange flavor in them. I don't think I'll be making these again.

Good basic muffin. Needs more orange flavor. I'll try again with everyone else's suggestions.
