Description

My little Sous Chef (my son) helped me come up with this recipe, and it was such a huge hit!

Ingredients

  • FOR THE MUFFINS:
  • 2 whole Eggs
  • ½ cups Oil
  • 1 cup Milk
  • 1 teaspoon Vanilla
  • ½ whole Orange, Juiced And Zested
  • 2 cups All-purpose Flour
  • ½ cups Sugar
  • ¼ cups Cocoa
  • 1 Tablespoon Baking Powder
  • ½ teaspoons Salt
  • ½ cups Semi-Sweet Chocolate Chips Plus A Few Extra For Sprinkling
  • _____
  • FOR THE GLAZE:
  • ⅓ cups Powdered Sugar
  • ½ whole Orange Zest
  • ½ whole Orange, Juiced

Preparation

For the muffins:
In a medium bowl, combine all the dry ingredients (flour through chocolate chips on the muffins list), and set aside.

In a large bowl beat together the eggs, oil, milk, vanilla, the orange zest and juice. Add the dry ingredients to the wet and mix until just moistened.

Line or grease 12-15 muffin wells, (I like using the baking cups) and preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Using an ice cream scoop, fill the wells with one full scoop of batter. Sprinkle the tops with a few more chocolate chips. Bake for 15-20 minutes, check at 15 and if a toothpick entered into the center comes back out clean (remember if you go through a chocolate chip it will come out chocolatey, but so long as it’s not uncooked dough you’re good), then they’re done. Cool on wire racks.

While cooling put together the glaze, of powdered sugar, orange juice and zest. You’ll want the glaze to be thin enough to run off the back of a spoon, but thick enough to stay on the muffin. You can add more or less juice and sugar to get the right consistency. Using a spoon, drizzle a small amount of glaze onto each cooled muffin.
