Servings: 12 muffins
Equipment
Ingredients
- 1 ¾ cup all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- ¾ teaspoon salt
- 1 large egg
- ½ cup granulated sugar
- ½ cup milk
- ⅓ cup melted butter
- 1 whole orange cut in half and the juice squeezed out of it
- 1 whole orange peeled and cut into chunks
- 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375°F. Line a muffin tin with liners and set aside.
- In a medium bowl, whisk or stir together the flour, baking powder, and salt. Set it aside.
- In another medium bowl, add the egg, sugar, milk, butter, juice, and orange pieces. Beat with a hand mixer until all the ingredients are well combined.
- Pour the orange mixture over the dry ingredients, and use a wooden spoon or rubber spatula to mix the ingredients just until combined. Do NOT overmix the batter. Gently fold in the chocolate chips.
- Evenly divide the batter into the muffin pan, filling each cavity about three-quarters full.
- Bake for 25-30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted near the center of the muffin tests clean.
- Enjoy warm or at room temperature.
Notes
- It is important not to open the oven door while your muffins are baking, or they may not rise properly.
- Likewise, it's also important not to overmix your batter, or it will make your muffins dense and heavy.
- For the best result, don't fill the muffin cavities more than three-quarters full, and be sure to place them in the center of the oven when you bake them.
