The muffins are crusty on the outside, tender on inside but do have the texture of a corn muffin. Lovely light orange scent and flavor. Spread orange marmalade on top and enjoyed with cup of tea. Baking time for my oven was 20 minutes.

I made these this morning with the help of my 3 yr old and we both enjoyed them. They sort of remind me of cornbread, both in looks and texture but were still yummy with a slight hint of orange flavor. Thanks for a healthy breakfast Di!
