Notes

Be sure to remove pith from the mandarin oranges as the white pith can taste bitter.
You can also choose to lightly butter or spray the muffin cups with a vegetable spray if muffin liners are not available.
Do not OVERMIX the batter or the muffins will become tough.
You can also spoon the batter into the muffin cups using two spoons if ice-cream scoop is not available.
