Orange-Raspberry Muffin Tops

Got this recipe from King Arthur's Baking Sheet, winter 2008. Contributed by Julia Greer. Low in fat and healthy, these treats are pretty tasty! You will need a muffin top tin to make these...after all the muffin top of a muffin is the best part after all! The muffin asks for Fiori de Sicilia (which is an extract) but if you do not have that you can use 1/2 tsp vanilla and a tablespoon of orange zest.
