Dark Chocolate Orange Muffins Recipes

CHOCOLATE ORANGE MUFFINS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 190/375/gas 5. Line a muffin tin with paper or silicone cases (remember, muffin cases are bigger than cupcake cases, so if you're using a cupcake tray, this mix will probably make more than 12 and will need a little less cooking time).
• Pop the zest & juice from the oranges in a jug, then top up with enough milk, water or orange juice to reach 250ml.
• Add in the beaten egg and oil and stir well.
• In a large mixing bowl, sift the flour, baking powder, salt, bicarb and cocoa powder together. Add the sugar and mix to combine.
• Pour the jug of wet ingredients into the bowl of dry, and quickly and smoothly fold them together.
• Spoon into the awaiting cases and bake for 20 - 25 minutes until the tops spring back when pressed, and a skewer comes out clean.
• Let cool fully before storing or freezing.
