Ingredients
- 1.5 cups All-purpose flour
- 2 teaspoons Baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoons Baking soda
- 0.25 teaspoons Salt
- 0.5 cups Granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon Orange zest (from 1 large orange)
- 0.5 cups Freshly squeezed orange juice
- 0.5 cups Low-fat plain yogurt
- 1 large Egg
- 1 teaspoons Vanilla extract
- 0.5 cups Mini chocolate chips
- 0 Non-stick cooking spray
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners or coat each cup with non-stick cooking spray.
Step 2
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
Step 3
In a medium bowl, combine the sugar and orange zest. Use your fingers to rub the zest into the sugar until it is fragrant and evenly distributed.
Step 4
Add the orange juice, yogurt, egg, and vanilla extract to the sugar mixture, and whisk until smooth and well combined.
Step 5
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, and gently stir until just combined. Be careful not to overmix the batter; it’s okay if there are a few lumps.
Step 6
Fold in the mini chocolate chips until evenly distributed throughout the batter.
Step 7
Divide the batter evenly among the prepared muffin cups, filling each about 3/4 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 or with just a few crumbs.
Step 9
Remove the muffin tin from the oven, and let the muffins cool in the tin for 5 minutes. Then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely or enjoy warm.
