Answer 2

Use the extract, omit vanilla if that is what the recipe calls for. mm

Answer 3

You can try and just omit the Vanilla and use the Orange Extract, this would give almost any muffin recipe an orange flavor. Add about 1/2 cup of dried cranberries to any muffin recipe.
Orange zest/peel adds texture and flavor to the muffins but it is not necessary. I like the muffins with it, but if I am out I don't add it obviously. However, I do buy oranges, and then when I know I am using them, I zest the peel first onto waxed paper, then use the oranges. I then put the zest into a small spice jar and freeze it for use later when I am out of oranges.
It works very well.

Answer 4

what are you using to provide the "orange" part of this bread?

bottled juice ?

juice concenetrate?

orange juice you squeeze yourself? if the latter, then you can get the orange peel/zest from the fruit--no need to use dried (spice rack) orange peel, if that's what the recipe is calling for. you'd need about 1.5 to 2 times of fresh orange peel over the amount called for of dried orange peel.
