To begin with, I used vegetable oil instead of butter. I didn't read ahead to the "butter, melted and cooled" and didn't have time once I started mixing the other ingredients. Okay, I really didn't have the patience. I left out the lemon juice and extract because I didn't have it, and didn't quite have enough orange juice. I added a couple tablespoons of wheat germ, a couple of figs, a tablespoon of raspberry preserves, some chopped pecans, and a little agave. Everything but the kitchen sink!
So how did they turn out...delicious! They are a little on the dry side, but very grainy and good. The orange taste comes through nicely, but isn't overpowering at all.

You did sort of make kitchen sink muffins! They look (and sound) wonderful though. Dorie's recipes are normally very easily adaptable!
They sound wonderful with the raspberry preserves! :)
You additions sound really interesting! I'm not sure I like figs, but they just might work. I think the raspberry preserves were a great choice.
I can't believe they turned out dry, I wonder if the figs caused that!? Mine were moist..Im glad you enjoyed this recipe..they look great and I LOVE all of your healthy additions!
