This is a really good recipe but I must say they are kind of bland. Im not sure what it is.Its very light and fluffy and great texture but the flavor just wasn't fantastic. I would definitely make these again but add a little more seasoning to the mix. Thank you for a good recipe :) Made for ZWT5

Nice soft mild muffins. I made these with whole wheat flour, half Splenda/half sugar, 1% milk, extra orange zest, and dried tropical fruit mix. I also added 1 tsp of pumpkin pie spice. Despite all of my flavorful additions they still turned out bland to my tastes. I did enjoy them warm with butter. Made for the 1-2-3 hit wonders tag game.

Very tasty and light muffin. I used dried cranberries instead of raisins. Will be making these again!
