For a more intense orange flavor, add 1 teaspoon of orange zest to the batter. If you don't have buttermilk, you can substitute with regular milk mixed with 1/2 tablespoon of lemon juice or white vinegar. Let it sit for 5 minutes before using. These muffins are best enjoyed fresh, but they can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days. Freezing: These muffins freeze well. Wrap individually in plastic wrap and place in a freezer bag for up to 2 months. Thaw at room temperature before serving. Spice Variation: Adjust the amount of cloves and ginger to your liking. You can also add a pinch of nutmeg or cardamom for a warmer flavor profile.
