Chocolate and Orange Muffin Recipe

Chocolate and Orange Muffin Recipe

The combination of chocolate and orange has long since been a match made in heaven. So naturally combining to two ingredient together in a muffin recipe works. The orange flavour is not too over powering, and adding the zest of the orange also adds a different texture to the cooked muffins. Eating these while they are still warm, in my opinion, is a small piece of heaven. The smell of orange will linger through your house combine with that heavenly baked muffin smell.
