Pretty good, but next time I'll reduce the orange zest - it's kind of overpowering.

I was a little skeptical about this recipe at first, but I was sure proven wrong! Poppy seeds are usually something I omit from recipes, but combined with the orange zest (Don't skip this part!) it's pretty amazing. I found this recipe easy and quick to make. I did find that my muffin tins were very full and the muffins still rose nicely with a crown. I had very little spillage over the cups.
