For best results, zest one of the oranges and add it to the dry ingredients. Then, peel the oranges and add those to the blender. Otherwise, the orange flavor can be too bitter because of so much peel.

This is a good discovery. I took one of the comment suggestions and used peeled whole orange, but scraped off about a teaspoon of orange zest in the bowl. The zest added a lot of flavor.

Still not sure? Do we include the orange peel in this recipe?

Great. Tastes healthy of coarse, but very nice for that type of muffins. People's comments hee are very helpful.

When we moved, I lost this recipe and want to thank you for posting it! They are delicious and, yes, use the whole orange!

This recipe has 27 net carbs. Look for it on about.com which gives you a breakdown. Brown sugar can be substituted with an artificial sweetener.

I made this about two months ago and my husband is on me to make it again. Very flavorful. For Lindsay - we peel the oranges, but I bet a little grated orange peel in the mix would make a good thing even better.

The whole orange including the peel?

Can anyone tell me what the carbohydrates are for this recipe. I would like to make it and my husband is diabetic. I don't want to rate it until I make it. It sounds wonderful.

I love this recipe although I substituted the flour for 3/4 cup flour and 1/4 cup wheat germ, the whole oranges for mandarin oranges,the brown sugar for Splenda brown sugar, the canola oil for unsweetened applesauce, the eggs for Eggbeaters and the raisins for blueberries. I am diabetic so the substitutions are better for me.

I made these today and subbed dried cranberries for the raisins. With the orange flavor - WOW. Amazingly good.

I used 1 large can mandarin(sp?) oranges, with about 1/2 the liquid drained out instead. Fresh oranges likely would have given more of an orange flavor. Good if you like muffins with a lot of texture. I LOVE this stuff byt I can't get my grown kids to eat this - the call it "Hamster Bread".

Thanks for this wonderful recipe. It was so easy and the muffins are really great! They are a very healthy way to start the day or end the day with, and of course they are so good that I am wondering who to give them to as a healthy gift (I will enclose your web site and recipe). So many people can benefit from these delicious easy to make muffins that this recipe should be in every doctor’s office in the world!!! Keep up the great work and thank you again.
