Orange Muffins

These are wonderful, and very easy.  The have just the right amount of orange flavor.  I also tried using lemons,   Yuck to much pith and it leaves an after taste.  Was a good idea but not a tasty one.  :)   May try it with just the juice from lemons and let you know.    I found this recipe here.
I altered the recipe a bit, I used whole wheat flour and some quick oats.  The original recipe called for all white flour.  Trying to cook a bit more healthy.
They are very moist, sure hope you'll try them.  It's a great way to use up oranges, peel and all, who would have thunk??  :)
