Ingredients

• 2 cups All-purpose flour
• 0.75 cups Granulated sugar
• 2 teaspoons Baking powder
• 0.25 teaspoons Salt
• 0.5 cups Freshly squeezed orange juice
• 1 tablespoon Orange zest
• 0.5 cups Vegetable oil
• 2 pieces Large eggs
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 0.25 cups Milk
• 1 cup Semisweet chocolate chips

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners or lightly grease with non-stick cooking spray.

Step 2

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

Step 3

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

Step 4

Pour the wet ingredients into the bowl of dry ingredients and gently fold together using a rubber spatula until just combined. Avoid overmixing to ensure soft muffins.

Step 5

Fold in the chocolate chips, making sure they are evenly distributed throughout the batter.

Step 6

Evenly divide the batter among the prepared muffin cups, filling each about 3/4 full.

Step 7

Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until the muffins are golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

Step 8

Remove the muffins from the oven and allow them to cool in the pan for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 9

Serve the muffins warm or at room temperature. Store any leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
