These muffins are super-moist and delicious! I didn't have any orange extract, so I just put in some orange zest instead. I will probably reduce the amount of sugar to 3/4 next time, though. Baked them at 180*C for 20-23 mins. Definitely making these again. TY for posting.

I didn't have any orange extract and I added walnuts to mine. They were delicious!

Nice, light and fluffy muffin. I didn't have any orange extract, so my muffins weren't as orange-y as I would have liked. This would be great with cream cheese frosting or dried cranberries!
