These were okay. Very moist, but it tasted way too much like orange peel. Would probably be better using the peel of only one of the oranges. Maybe I'll try again with less peel.

These muffins are to die for. I sampled the raw batter and could have devoured the whole bowl.I had some oranges in the fridge that needed using up. I will try anything once. I plan on trying your http://www.recipezaar.com/197962 Cranberry Chocolate mini loaves next.. Definitely glad I stumbled onto these recips.
