I have looked through some wonderful chocolate-orange muffin recipes here but none quite like this one which I have tweaked from Jane Brody. It's a healthy light orangey muffin which is especially nice for breakfast.

Ingredients:

2 cups plain flour

2 teaspoons baking powder

1/2 teaspoon bicarbonate of soda

1/4 teaspoon salt

1 cup sugar (can put less if you like)

1/4 cup oil (i use sunflower or corn)

1 1/2 cups orange juice (freshly squeezed for best results)

2 tablespoons orange zest

1 egg, beaten

100 g dark chocolate chips

Directions:

1. Combine dry ingredients in a large bowl.
2. Combine wet ingredients in a small bowl.
3. Mix the wet ones into the dry ones until the flour is just moistened. The batter will be quite thin.
4. Add chocolate chips ( I use couverture chocolate roughly chopped into chunks).
5. Bake at 200c for 20 minutes.
