Muffins were ok but a little rubbery because of the lack of fat, I think.

My husband thought these were good, but would leave out the orange rind, my daughter didn't like them, and I thought they were okay. I also thought the rind was too strong. They were very hard to get out of the muffin liners, so I would spray them next time.

I'm agree with Indiana Debbie, these muffins remain rubbery in texture. My husband didn't like them, unfortunately because he likes a perfectly good baked cakes:(:( Sorry!

My dh liked these muffins they pack alot of flavor due to the marmalade in them. I used a ice cream scoop and got 9 really nice sized muffins. Mine baked up in 15 minutes. Next time I make these I would like to heat the 2 tbsp of marmalade to make the swirling a bit easier but I like the glaze it made on the tops of the muffins. Also would like to try them with a little melted butter or oil (1/4 cup) added just to see the difference in the nutrition facts and the texture of the muffins. Made for the Lite and Low cooking challenge in the photo forum.
