I found that the dominant taste in these was the sugar instead of the orange or oatmeal. They were nice and moist though which made me very happy, just need to figure out a way to get that orange to stand out some more.

Yesterday I made the Tasty Orange-Oatmeal Muffins on the Allrecipes site and tonight I made these. These I found were much better tasting. I put 1 cup of craisins in with the boiling water/oj/oatmeal mixture to help plump them and even forgot to add the vanilla extract. I made a streusel from a banana crumb muffin recipe on Allrecipes and think this is an excellent muffin.

These muffins are moist and very good:) I like that they are slightly sweet, very good with coffee.

Very good!! But instead of the oatmeal, I added my baby's (12 months) cereals. He wasn't eating his cereals anymore so by making these muffins, it was a great alternative.

This was a very good recipe. I used a cup of 'craisins' in place of raisins, only because we like them better, but they they were wonderful. Thanks.

I halved the recipe to make 24 mini muffins. As written, not the best recipe. I made some adjustments: I used the zest and juice of 1 temple orange (extremely flavorful citrus!)omitted the water... it had a nice orange taste, but still an overall bland muffin. I added cinnamon and used freshly ground nutmeg. I made a litle crumb toping with pecans and brown sugar- still not much help despite all those flavor enhancers!. The texture gets 5 stars but the flavor brings it down to 3

Very light and fluffy. Not as sweet as other muffins so it made for a good morning muffin. Needs a little something of more substance inside. Maybe fruit chunks or dried apricots.

These were very good..just wish they had more of an orange flavor. I also thought the texture reminded me of cornbread! My husband and I both liked this recipe. Thank you!

Great recipe. I really enjoyed the orange flavour. I made a few changes though as suggested by others. I used 1 cup OJ, 1/2 teaspoon baking soda, 1 1/2 teaspoon baking powder, 1/4 cup butter, and 1/4 cup apple sauce. they turned out really good. Next time I might add in some chocolate chips instead of the raisins (love chocolate orange flavour). Thanks for the recipe!

The muffins don't rise right but were very tasty. I think they need more flour. Most muffins I've made have at least 1 & 1/2 cups. I also added orange zest & cinnamon.

I've been enjoying this for breakfast all week! I made it as a loaf (I like to pop a slice in the toaster to bring back that just-from-the-oven taste), and added zest from one orange to up the orange flavor. Also used nuts instead of raisins and 3/4 cup of flax seed meal to replace half of the butter.

Very good base recipe. I made some changes... swapped canola oil for butter, used 3/4 brown sugar and no white sugar, added 1 tsp cinnamon instead of nutmeg. Because of the cinnamon,I couldn't really taste the orange but they were delicious -- like oatmeal raisin cookies in muffin form.

I really like these muffins. They're very moist - a perfect consistency for an oatmeal muffin. I like, also, that it's a forgiving recipe. The first time I made them, I used only one egg and no white sugar, and they worked like a charm anyway. I'm definitely going to keep this recipe!

I used all OJ, added cinnemon, flax seed, used wheat flour, and sprinkled powdered sugar on top. Yummy! This is a recipe I will pass on to lots of people.
