Fast and Easy
This recipe came together very quickly. Nice healthy grab and go breakfast or snack. I followed another reviewers advice and added carrots since oranges were not in the pantry.

Yummy!!
These are EXCELLENT!! This is my second batch, which I make on Sunday and then eat for a quick breakfast on the way to work throughout the week. I put in a bit more of the orange zest (prob. 2 or 3 tbls.) it adds such a great flavor. I

Awesome muffins!
So, these turned out better than I could have imagined! I tweaked the recipe a bit... skipped the orange zest and used some cinnamon instead, used natural applesauce instead of oil, and substituted no-calorie sweetener instead of sugar... a great success! You might need a bit more milk than the recipe calls for, but otherwise, I would definitely suggest it. Fresh cranberries worked well!

Delicious!
These were very good. I did change the recipe a little,-substituted half of the oil with unsweetened apple sauce and sprayed the muffin pan instead of using paper muffin cups. I will definitely make these again!
