This was a pretty good muffin. I did make some changes- I didn't have any orange marmalade or nuts, so I used blueberry preserves instead. I also omitted the nutmeg, and added a little extra sugar. Could have been a little moister and more flavorful. But good stand-by recipe...

Yummy! Made as directed, except I added a few mini semi-sweet chocolate chips to suck my son in. Will definitely be making these again.

Delicious! What a great way to start the day. I used fresh oranges (1 1/2). Made just under 1/2c juice so I splashed in a little water. Only had apricot jelly. Used a generous teaspoon of my homemade pumpkin pie spice in the topping. These muffins are so good! Very moist & bursting with flavor.
