Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 250 g All-purpose flour
- 150 g Granulated sugar
- 50 g Unsweetened cocoa powder
- 2.5 tsp Baking powder
- 0.25 tsp Salt
- 100 g Dark chocolate chips
- 2 tbsp Orange zest
- 120 ml Freshly squeezed orange juice
- 120 ml Whole milk
- 2 large Eggs
- 100 g Unsalted butter (melted and cooled)
- 1 tsp Vanilla extract
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 190°C (375°F) and line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners or grease the cups lightly.
In a large mixing bowl, sift together the flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt. Stir in the sugar and dark chocolate chips until evenly distributed.
In another bowl, whisk together the orange zest, freshly squeezed orange juice, milk, eggs, melted butter, and vanilla extract until well combined.
Pour the wet ingredients into the bowl of dry ingredients and gently fold them together using a spatula. Be careful not to overmix; the batter should be just combined, even if a few lumps remain.
Divide the batter evenly among the prepared muffin cups, filling each about 3/4 full.
Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.
Remove the muffins from the oven and let them cool in the tin for 5 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Serve the muffins warm or at room temperature. Enjoy the perfect balance of rich chocolate and bright orange flavors!
