I thought these were good, for a ww recipe. The orange came through quite strongly for only 2 t. It made 12 servings perfectly. These muffins do not rise very much so you can fill the cupcake tin almost full. These were definitely easy to make and had a different flavor than most muffins. If you are trying to maintain a healthier diet and have to have your fruit muffin for breakfast, this is a great choice.
