Delicious! I omtted the candied peel and increased the apricots to 1 cup, used whole milk and increased the vanilla to 2 teaspoons, thanks for sharing this great muffin recipe Reds!...Kitten

A really delicious recipe! Instead of making muffins, I baked the batter in a loaf pan so that it would be easier to transport to work, since I was bringing this for Friday treats. Needless to say, there wasn't much left afterwards!

Little Miss (DD) and I made these today, we had lots of fun. These muffins had so much flavour and directions were easy to follow. I made a few substitute used brown sugar instead of granulated sugar, mix peel instead of candied peel and an egg replacer. The muffin was a little dense for me but the rest of the family didn't mind it. In fact I just got back from work and was looking to eat one but they had been eaten. Next time if I make these again, I would skip the glaze as muffin by itself is yummy. Thank you Redsie

I LOVED the orange juice in this - it was a great addition - these worked perfectly for me and we all enjoyed them thoroughly. I did not use dried apricots - I discovered I had none when I came to make these, so I doubled up on the peel, which is my home-made recipe and worked extremely well. Everyting else was exactly as written - my muffins, excuse me(!!) rose very high and were very light!! Very much a keeper for me - thanks for posting this wonderful idea....a great classic with a twist! FT

Really loved these! I used my old Ekco Easter egg cake pan (like a muffin pan, but egg shapes) and flipped them over to glaze. Very cute, and a delicious recipe. I did sub 2 teaspoons orange zest for the candied peel - otherwise followed the recipe exactly. Thank you so much, we'll make these every Good Friday!
