Awesome Orange Chocolate Muffins Recipes

CHOCOLATE ORANGE MUFFINS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 190/375/gas 5. Line a muffin tin with paper or silicone cases (remember, muffin cases are bigger than cupcake cases, so if you're using a cupcake tray, this mix will probably make more than 12 and will need a little less cooking time).
• Pop the zest & juice from the oranges in a jug, then top up with enough milk, water or orange juice to reach 250ml.
• Add in the beaten egg and oil and stir well.
• In a large mixing bowl, sift the flour, baking powder, salt, bicarb and cocoa powder together. Add the sugar and mix to combine.
• Pour the jug of wet ingredients into the bowl of dry, and quickly and smoothly fold them together.
• Spoon into the awaiting cases and bake for 20 - 25 minutes until the tops spring back when pressed, and a skewer comes out clean.
• Let cool fully before storing or freezing.

Steps:

• Sift together the flour, sugar, baking powder and salt. Set aside. Finely zest an orange and chop the zest even finer with a chef's knife. Add the orange zest to a large bowl along with the eggs milk, cooking oil and vanilla . Whisk all together Fold in the dry ingredients, just until the dry ingredients are incorporated into the batter; do not over mix. When the flour is almost incorporated, fold in the chocolate chips. Spoon batter into 12 well greased muffin tins or 6 jumbo muffin tins. I normally reserve a couple of tablespoons of chocolate chips to sprinkle on top. I also sprinkle on a little turbinado sugar to help get a crispy top. Bake for 15 minutes at 400 degrees F, then reduce the heat to 350 degrees F and bake for an additional 10 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Jumbo muffins normally take double the time, but your oven may vary. Use the toothpick test to ensure they are fully baked. Remove from pan after 5 minutes and cool on a wire rack until ready to serve.
