Fabulous Orange Choc-Chip Muffins

Submitted by joanna_giselle

"I have looked through some wonderful chocolate-orange muffin recipes here but none quite like this one which I have tweaked from Jane Brody. It's a healthy light orangey muffin which is especially nice for breakfast."

 

• Ready In: 30mins
• Ingredients: 10
• Yields: 18 muffins

ingredients

• 2 cups plain flour
• 2 teaspoons baking powder
• 1⁄2 teaspoon bicarbonate of soda
• 1⁄4 teaspoon salt
• 1 cup sugar (can put less if you like)
• 1⁄4 cup oil (I use sunflower or corn)
• 1 1⁄2 cups orange juice (freshly squeezed for best results)
• 2 tablespoons orange zest
• 1 egg, beaten
• 100 g dark chocolate chips

directions

1. Combine dry ingredients in a large bowl.
2. Combine wet ingredients in a small bowl.
3. Mix the wet ones into the dry ones until the flour is just moistened. The batter will be quite thin.
4. Add chocolate chips ( I use couverture chocolate roughly chopped into chunks).
5. Bake at 200c for 20 minutes.

I tried the recipie to lift up my spirits from the haze in Singapore. It's super easy and the end results are soft and yummy muffins. Orange and dark chocolate and 1 of my most fave combinations. I decided to use Lindtt dark chocolates and sprinkled a few dark choc droplets on top to make it appealing. I wouldn't mind making these again.

Very yummy, so quick and easy to make. The orange zest really adds some flavour. Choc-orange , one of my favourite combinations. This recipe is a keeper . Thanks for sharing .

These muffins were great! I used a half cup of sugar instead of the full cupz 75g of dark chocolate and 25g of milk made the perfect sweet and bitter combo I also tossed them in flour to stop them from sinking. I ended up with light fluffy and delicious muffins.

The muffin was great except that the batter was so thin the chocolate chips sank to the bottom ��

This was just wonderful. My boyfriend loved it, everyone at work loved it and I loved it. I just reduced the sugar to 130g and doubled the chocolate chips. Thanks for sharing this amazing recipe.
