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

Directions

Step 1

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.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt until well combined.

Step 3

Stir in the orange zest to the dry ingredients, evenly distributing the citrus flavor.

Step 4

In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the orange juice, milk, vegetable oil, eggs, and vanilla extract until smooth.

Step 5

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.

Step 6

Gently fold in the chocolate chips using a spatula, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the batter.

Step 7

Divide the batter evenly among the prepared muffin cups, filling each about 2/3 full.

Step 8

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).

Step 9

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.

Step 10

Serve warm or at room temperature, and enjoy the irresistible combination of orange and chocolate flavors!
