Splendid.One of the best muffins I have ever made. Reminded me of Terry's chocolate orange(England). They are very very easy to make and look beautiful when they come out of the oven. I used dark choc chips. I will make again soon!!!! The children yummed there way through eating them!!!! I also used all purpose flour and added 3 tsp of baking powder and 1 tsp of salt to substitute. You must try these!!!!!

Self-raising flour is not available where I live so I used regular flour plus 1 tsp of baking powder (a recipe from this site too) but my jaffa muffins haven't risen as much as those pretty ones in the photo. I also should have read one of the reviews where cordamonstairs says that she used 3 tsp of baking powder. I also think that the chocolate chips might be too heavy for the batter to rise. Tastewise quite nice, not too sweet.

Just made these muffins and have to say they taste BEAUTIFUL. Sweet but not too sweet, delicate orange flavor and the chocolate chips are great. The flavors here are spot on, so thanks for this! However, there's something definitely proportionally off with the muffin recipe. A previous reviewer mentioned these were dense -- holy cow, these are pound-cake dense (minus the buttery-ness of pound-cakes). The managed to stay moist, but whoa that's not a muffin so much as a little cake. The other challenge was that the outsides of the muffin burned at 425 for 15 minutes but the inside was fine. This is a sign that the muffins cooked at too high a temperature. I would lower to 400 or maybe lower a little more and cook longer, 25-30 minutes.
