These were wonderful and are going in my recipe book. My husband loved them, too. Was hoping to freeze some, but that’s not going to happen anymore. I used juice from an extra orange because my batter wasn’t wet enough (my oranges didn’t have much juice) and I ran out of butter the other day so I used coconut oil (I guesstimated how much was 1/3 cup because I just threw it in w/out thinking I should double check). I didn’t have walnuts so I used pecans and that was fine. I used heart shaped silicone cups and just checked often to make sure they didn’t overbake, but didn’t have enough. So, I used mini tins and those I baked for ten minutes at same temperature and they were perfect.
Thank you for such an easy, wonderful recipe!
