12-count muffin tin
Knives
Cutting Board
juicer
Stainless Steel Mixing Bowls
Measuring Spoons and Cups

Ingredients

1 ¾ cup all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
¾ teaspoon kosher salt
1 large egg
½ cup granulated sugar
½ cup whole milk
⅓ cup unsalted butter, melted
2 whole oranges
1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips

Instructions

In a bowl, sift the flour, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.
Preheat the oven to 380°F/193°C. Use silicone muffin molds or use a 12-count muffin tin and either grease, spray with non-stick baking spray, or use cupcake liners, and set aside.
Use one orange, cut it in half and press the juice out of the orange into a small bowl, set aside.
You will need to peel the other orange, then slice it into chunks.
Add egg, sugar, milk, oranges pieces, juice, and butter in another medium bowl.
With a hand mixer or a whisk, mix until all the ingredients are well combined.
Pour the liquid mixture over the dry ingredients, mixing as little as possible, just enough to obtain a moist batter.
Gently fold in the chocolate chips.
Spoon the batter into silicone or paper-lined muffin pans and bake at 380°F for about 25 minutes.
Let cool for a few minutes and remove from the silicone molds or muffin tin.
Ready to eat. Enjoy.

Notes

Be sure to check Expert Tips and FAQs above with important tips and questions that can help make a delicious recipe

Tips:

Do not beat the dough like a cake, which prevents the muffins from rising and makes them heavy.
Using vegetable oil results in lighter muffins because it prevents gluten formation in the flour. On the other hand, butter adds more fluffiness to the dough.
Do not open the oven door or you run the risk of ending up with flattened muffins.
Never fill the muffin molds more than three-quarters full and place them in the center of the oven.
Silicone molds give better results than paper muffin liners, which burn easily.
