Tips:

Use fresh pumpkin puree for the best flavor. If you don't have fresh pumpkin puree, you can use canned pumpkin puree instead.
Be sure to drain the pumpkin puree well before using it in the muffins. This will help to prevent the muffins from being too wet.
Grate the orange zest finely. This will help to release the orange flavor into the muffins.
Don't overmix the batter. Overmixing can make the muffins tough.
Fill the muffin cups only about 2/3 full. This will help to prevent the muffins from overflowing.
Bake the muffins until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Let the muffins cool in the pan for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Pumpkin orange muffins are a delicious and easy-to-make fall treat. They are perfect for breakfast, lunch, or a snack.
