Tips:
- For a sweeter muffin, use 1 cup of sugar instead of 3/4 cup.
- Add 1/2 teaspoon of ground cinnamon or nutmeg to the batter for a warm, autumnal flavor.
- For a citrusy burst, add 1 tablespoon of lemon zest or orange zest to the batter.
- Top the muffins with a streusel topping made from 1/2 cup of flour, 1/2 cup of brown sugar, and 1/4 cup of butter.
- For a moist muffin, use sour cream instead of milk in the batter.
- If you don't have mandarin oranges, you can use 1 cup of canned pineapple chunks or 1 cup of chopped fresh strawberries.
