Notes
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
