These are excellent! Thanks! I have also used lemon rind when I didn't have fresh oranges on hand, and they are just terrific either way. A family favorite...

While these muffins were being baked, the whole house smelt like a bakery!!These muffins have been very aptly titled. I made these today and they were really moist, actually, a little bit more than I'd expected. They were enjoyed by all. I didn't have nutmeg around, so I substituted it with 1 tsp. of powdered cinnamon and instead of the orange rind, I used 1 tsp of orange juice.
