Whole Orange and Poppyseed Muffins with Almond and Chia Seeds

This is a variation of the 30 second whole orange cupcakes as I wanted to sneak in some extra nutrition with the boys eating it too. The extra stuff in it doesn't make this in '30 seconds' anymore but it's still very quick and easy!! :)
