Ingredients Method

Ingredients
  

  • 1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour 220g
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • 3/4 tsp salt
  • 1 large egg
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar 100g
  • 1/2 cup milk 120ml
  • 1/3 cup unsalted butter 75g, melted
  • 2 whole oranges
  • 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips 175g

Method
 

  1. Sift dry ingredients:

    Sift the flour, baking powder, and salt together in a bowl; set aside.

  2. Prepare orange components:

    Halve one orange and squeeze out the juice; set aside. Remove the peel from the second orange and cut it into chunks.

  3. Whisk wet mixture:

    In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the egg, sugar, milk, orange chunks, reserved orange juice, and melted butter until thoroughly blended.

  4. Combine wet and dry:

    Add the liquid mixture to the dry ingredients, stirring minimally until a moist batter just comes together.

  5. Fold in chocolate chips:

    Carefully fold the chocolate chips into the batter.

  6. Fill muffin cups and bake:

    Divide the batter among silicone or paper-lined muffin cups. Bake at 380°F (195°C) for approximately 25 minutes.
