Description

Chocolate chips and fresh orange come together in perfect harmony to make these quick and easy muffins that get their melt-in-your-mouth texture from sour cream.

Ingredients

1/2 cup milk
1/2 cup sour cream
2 eggs
1/3 cup canola oil
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
3/4 cup white sugar
1 orange - zested, peeled, and segmented
1 3/4 cups self-rising flour
1 pinch salt
7 ounces milk chocolate chips (such as Cadbury Baking Chips)

Directions

1 Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Line 16 muffin cups with paper liners.
2 Whisk milk, sour cream, eggs, oil, and vanilla extract together in a bowl until well combined. Whisk in sugar and orange zest. Stir in flour, salt, and chocolate chips in that order. Dice orange segments and gently fold into batter.
3 Spoon batter into the prepared muffin cups, filling each 3/4 full.
4 Bake in the preheated oven until muffins are golden and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, 15 to 20 minutes. Cool in tin for 5 minutes. Transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
