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?? :)
