These are my husband's favorite muffins so I love to keep them on hand. They freeze and reheat beautifully. Just warm them in the oven for 30 seconds and you're ready to go! —Amber Cummings, Indianapolis, Indiana

I made these muffins this morning and they were delicious. Taking heed of another review, I decreased the amount of whole wheat flour to 3/4 cup and it seemed to work. I did use King Arthur Flour which always gives me good results (not a paid ad). I used cupcake papers and gave them each a quick spray of cooking spray but I recommend making sure to spray the sides of the papers, too, as mine stuck to the sides. I made 18 muffins and we thought they were delicious. The orange flavor came shining through. I highly recommend this recipe.Volunteer Field Editor

I tried these muffins today. They sounded delicious but turned out heavy as lead. Will not make again
