Adding buttermilk to muffins makes them extra soft. Skip it to make these muffins vegan
Use a combination of whole wheat flour and maida (all purpose flour) or only maida (all purpose flour)
Use a non-aromatic oil like sunflower/vegetable oil/filtered olive oil or even melted butter
Adding oats is optional but it adds a nice crunch and some fibre
If you do not have muffin tray, pour batter in a cake tin and bake into a cake
Grate only orange part while zesting and not whiter part which will be bitter
