Answers:
I would simply omit the nuts and the orange peel as neither are needed for the recipe to be a success!. One change I would make would be to add a tsp of flour to the sugar that you toss the cranberries with!. This will make them hold their position in the batter while they bake and not sink or float!.
If you wanted, you could add a little grated coconut or shred some carrot or zucchini into it!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

you can leave out the nuts and it will be fine!.
as for the peel it takes away some of the bitter taste you get from the cranberries!. It won't make the muffins taste gross if you leave out the peel also!.
i wouldn't use lime if you were substituting anything i would use lemon peelWww@FoodAQ@Com

try this:
instead of the milk, substitute 1 cup of orange juice, and 1/3 cup of dry milk!.
nuts can be left out!.
if no peels, don't use lime, or grapefruit (all citrus), maybe lemon, but it can be left out!. it adds a lot of flavor though!. cranberries and oranges go together!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
