Martha's recipes are rich, decadent and delicious. If you are looking for low fat, zero carb, gluten free, paleo friendly recipes you've come to the wrong place! And actually you can eat these muffins and still be healthy, it's called moderation.

1 1/2 CUPS of sugar and 1 1/2 sticks of butter????? That's an obscene amount of sugar & butter for ten muffins! I almost always make healthier adjustments to Martha's baking recipes. Unsweetened apple sauce would be a good subs[filtered]ute for a large portion of the sugar and butter while still keeping the muffins moist.

I often find the Martha Stewart recipes a little off and this was no exception. It's more of a cupcake than a muffin - much too much sugar and the spice is an odd taste sensation here against the orange... I'll make them again because they were wonderfully moist and rich and there was potential - but I will omit some or all of the spice, reduce the sugar significantly and up the orange a tad.
