Comments
It is very interesting to use orange in muffins. It is very healthy muffin. Especially during winter times.
Great basic no-fail recipe. Use mashed banana & crushed nuts instead off orange. Replace low fat yoghurt with low fat milk and make savoury muffins using corn, chives, low fat grated cheese and finely cut spring onion.
