Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 0.75 cups granulated sugar
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoons baking soda
- 0.25 teaspoons salt
- 1 tablespoon orange zest
- 0.75 cups freshly squeezed orange juice
- 0.25 cups whole milk
- 0.5 cups vegetable oil
- 2 pieces large eggs
- 1 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 1 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners or grease thoroughly with non-stick spray.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt until well combined.
Stir in the orange zest to the dry ingredients, evenly distributing the citrus flavor.
In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the orange juice, milk, vegetable oil, eggs, and vanilla extract until smooth.
Make a well in the center of the dry ingredients, then pour the wet ingredients into the well. Stir gently until just combined, being careful not to overmix.
Gently fold in the chocolate chips using a spatula, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the batter.
Divide the batter evenly among the prepared muffin cups, filling each about 2/3 full.
Bake in the preheated oven for 16-18 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean (melted chocolate is fine).
Remove the muffins from the oven and allow them to cool in the tin for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
Serve warm or at room temperature, and enjoy the irresistible combination of orange and chocolate flavors!
