-------- ------------ --------------------------------
2 1/2 cups flour
3/4 cup sugar
1/2 tsp salt
4 tsp baking powder
2 eggs
1 cup milk
1/2 cup cooking oil
2 Tbsp orange zest -- finely grated from 1 orange
1 tsp vanilla extract
3/4 cup dark chocolate chips
So quick and easy! A moist, delicious muffin with chocolate chips and
orange zest baked inside.
prep: 10 MINUTES
cook: 15 MINUTES
total: 25 MINUTES
Yield: 12 REGULAR MUFFINS (OR 6 JUMBO)
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 400F, then reduce the heat to 350F 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.

Question: Your instructions call for the zest of an orange and then
to chop it. Do we chop the orange in a food processor and when do we
add it to the batter?
Response: I just remove the zest with the fine side of a box grater
or rasp, then I put it on a cutting board and chop it even finer with
a chef knife.
Review: Just made these they are delious.
Review: Delicious muffins although I expected more of an orange
flavour with the added orange parts. Will try next time with lemon
and cranberries!
