Yum! These muffins turned out to be very flavorful and tender. I reduced the amount of brown sugar to 1/2 cup and the muffins were still nicely sweet. I sprinkled the top of the muffins with sugar in the raw. I did not chop up the mandarin oranges but they broke up a bit when I stirred them into the batter. This recipe made 18 regular sized muffins.

These are very good with the minor adjustments I made (cannot comment on original recipe). I substituted 1/2 the flour for whole wheat and reduced sugar by 1/4 cup. Some of the butter was substituted with vegetable oil. I used 1 - 284ml can of mandarin segments (drained) instead of fresh. I also only had orange extract and flavor was fine without the lemon. Will definitely make again, a nice change of flavour!

Very tasty! I used about half whole wheat flour, and I replaced almost all of the melted butter with unsweetened applesauce and the rest with melted margarine. The muffins are moist and flavourful, and a hit with children and adults alike! I baked my standard-sized muffins for about 18 minutes, and my mini muffins for about 12 minutes.

Yum! These were great! I used raisins instead of cranberries since we had a large bag. Made these to use up some mandarin oranges my toddler decided he no longer likes even though he asks for them. He likes these muffins, though. I made into mini muffins and have a ton in the freezer! made for Zaar Cookbook Tag.

Very yummy :) I used 1/4 less sugar. It still tastes very sweet with all the mandarins. I also added rhubarb instead of cranberries which was delicious. I grated the mandarin skin and added to the top with the sugar. I also only used one egg because I only had one. I've just used this same recipe to bake a cake :) my husband loves it!!

The little cutie here is Martha, the sweet lady I was blessed to have worked with for two years. Martha passed away on 12/3/08. Martha and I would ride endlessly during the holidays, and she would sing carols and laugh and just enjoy it so much. I know this holiday season, she will be with her brother, son and mother and finally be "home". Martha, I still love you more.

I'm a simple girl, born of good stock. I'm the mamma of two spoiled tuxedo cats: Beauregard and Patches (the one who's been drinking eggnog). They love cuddling together, and this picture is taken on my hall steps.
I'm a firm believer in LOA. I need to get more dedicated to daily practice. Below is a film that explains it, and is wonderful. I highly recommend it.

This is Beau enjoying his computer. He's quite good at deleting messages, making the desktop disappear (as is his brother). Their path to the window is over my keyboard.

This is Patches, planning his strategy to keep me awake, but cuddling his sock baby and trying to be cute to throw me off.

I'm trying to figure out my new rating system. As of 10/1/06, this is how I'll rate recipes. I will be changing some previous reviews.
5*~~Outstanding recipe--the best of the best here.
4*~~Something I find delicious; will make often; would serve to guests.
3*~~Something I might fix again; enjoyed; needed something added before I try again
2*~~Something I could finish, but would never try again, regardless of additions or subtractions
1*~~Could not finish it; would not even make possums suffer with this (I haven't found many of these--only one of my own that I grabbed from the internet!!)
