Chocolate Orange Muffins

Method

0 of 7 steps

Preheat the oven to 180°C
If using a patty tin, grease each hole well and lightly sprinkle with a little flour, shake the tin upside down to shake off any excess flour.
In a small bowl rub together sugar and orange zest until the sugar turns pale orange.
Sift flour, bicarbonate of soda and cocoa powder. Stir this into the sugar mixture and stir to combine.
In a separate bowl lightly beat the eggs, stir in oil and milk.
Pour the egg mixture, chocolate chunks and warm water into the dry ingredients. Now gently stir the mixture just 2 to 3 times. The mixture should still look lumpy and like the wet and dry ingredients are not properly combined.
Spoon this mixture into the tin or muffin cases with a dessertspoon, sprinkle with the orange juice and an extra tbsp of sugar and bake for 20 mins until they are risen.

Lovely. Time to eat!
