How to make Orange Muffins with Chocolate Chips
- Step 1
Wash the oranges thoroughly, cut them into quarters, and remove the pulp. Take out the seeds and the white pith, as it can give a bitter taste.
- Step 2
Blend the oranges using a hand blender, food processor, or blender.
- Step 3
In a bowl, combine the eggs and sugar, and beat lightly. Then add the blended oranges.
- Step 4
Add the sunflower oil and mix until all the ingredients are well incorporated.
- Step 5
Add the self-rising flour, previously sifted, and mix gently using folding motions.
- Step 6
Once you have a smooth batter, add the chocolate chips and mix.
- Step 7
Fill muffin tins or paper liners with the batter, ensuring you only fill them up to ¾ full to allow room for the muffins to rise during baking without spilling over.
- Step 8
Bake in a preheated oven at 200°C (392°F) for about 12 minutes or until they are cooked through and golden brown.
- Step 9
Remove from the oven and let them cool before taking them out of the molds.
