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

Sorry, but I thought they were just ok. The flavor was much milder than I expected, & I also got only 15 muffins. I did make an orange glaze ( powdered sugar, OJ, & orange extract) which did help.

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.

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!

These muffins were great. I had wanted to make muffins but I was out of milk, so this was perfect. I didn't have orange extract, but they seemed to be orangey enough without it. Next time I might add orange zest and chopped cranberry.
