I have been making these muffins just as the recipe states for over a year and they are wonderful! Moist, orangey, freeze well if you can save any back! They are always well recieved, even by those not so health-conscious. If you do not have a food processor, use a blender, half the ingredients at a time and it works fine. I was intending to post this, but glad you have done it. Thanks!!

What an unusual recipe. I was expecting them to taste bitter due to the orange pith and peel but no way! These muffins are great! I made a couple changes to the recipe. I didn't have oat bran so I ground up steel cut oat and substituted frozen blueberries for the raisins. The orange tastes so fresh and sweetness level was just perfect for us. Totally hubby approved! I used organic oranges for this recipe. Thanks for sharing. : )

Very good recipe. I used grapefruit instead of the oranges making sure to strain the skin through a colander so as to avoid bitterness.I also added a bit more oil. Wonderful with the golden raisins. I have a hot oven so my temp ran at about 325,time at 25- 30 min. the only draw back is that is just a bit time consuming compared to other muffin recepies, but the taste and healthfulness of the finished product is well worth it.
