These were so good! The house smelled fabulous as these were baking and my four year old and husband couldn't wait to eat them. I substitued 1/2 chopped pecans for the currants and the flavors blended nicely with the orange and nutmeg. LOVE these!

We love these muffins! We're not fans of raisins, though, so I omit them or add in chopped pecans instead. I also usually sub half of the plain flour for whole wheat flour.
