orange chocolate chip muffin for Making the Orange Chocolate Chip Muffins:/h2ul liWe like using mini chocolate chips because they are lighter and do not sink to the bottom as much as regular-sized ones. /li liDo not over mix your batter, or you will end up with dense and tough muffins. We do not use an electric mixer to make our muffins. A whisk or spatula is enough. /li liFill the muffin about ¾ of the way only. Take note that they will rise as they bake, so you should allot space so they do not spill out. /li liLet the muffins cool on the pan for a few minutes after baking before dislodging them. This will give them enough time to firm up so they do not break apart. /li liYou can check if the muffins are done by inserting a toothpick in the center. If it comes out clean, you can take the muffins out of the oven. /li /ulfigureimg src=

Ingredients

  • For the muffins:
  • 2 cups All-purpose flour
  • 1 tbsp Baking powder
  • 1/2 tsp Kosher salt
  • 1/2 cup Mini semi-sweet chocolate chips
  • 2 large Eggs
  • 1/2 cup Granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup Milk
  • 2 tbsp Orange zest (*if you want it have less orange flavor we would dial back the zest to 1 tbsp)
  • 1/2 cup Orange juice
  • 1/4 cup Vegetable oil
  • For the streusel topping:
  • 1/2 cup All-purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup Granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup Unsalted butter, room temperature
  • 1/2 cup Chopped walnuts or pecans
  • 1/4 cup Mini semi-sweet chocolate chips

Method

  1. For the muffins:
  2. Preheat the oven to 400 degrees. Line twelve muffin cups with cupcake liners; set aside.
  3. In a large mixing bowl stir together flour, baking powder, and kosher salt. Fold in the mini chocolate chips. Make a well in the center of the flour mixture and set aside.
  4. In a medium mixing bowl combine the eggs, sugar, milk, orange zest, orange juice, and vegetable oil. Take the egg mixture and add it to the flour mixture all at once. Stir until combined and it’s okay if the batter is kind of lumpy.
  5. Spoon about 1⁄4 cup of the batter into each muffin cup. Top each muffing with the streusel topping and bake for about 18 to 20 minutes. Cool the muffins on a wire rack before serving!
  6. For the streusel topping:
  7. In a small food processor add the flour, sugar, and butter. Pulse until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Pour the mixture into a bowl and stir in walnuts or pecans, and mini chocolate chips.
