Made these today and they were ok I found them a bit dry but taste great with some pear jam with it. -
These are a good way to use up a big box of clementines. They were tasty, and the texture was nice. I wouldn't go out of my way to make them, but if I have extra clementines, now I know what to do with them! Thanks for posting.

Moist and yummy! I used 1 1/4c all purpose, 1/2c wheat, 1/4c flaxseed meal, & 1/4c oat bran. Also substituted sugar for raw agave sweetener. These baked up delicious & I love the fruit inside! -
I just baked these muffins today and they were delicious! I didn't use the poppy seeds though 'cause I didn't have any in my kitchen, but they turned out equally good!
