How to Make Chocolate Chip Orange Muffins

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners.
  2. In a large bowl (Mix 1), whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
  3. In a medium bowl (Mix 2), whisk together the eggs, orange zest, orange juice, melted oil, and vanilla extract.
  4. Gently pour the wet ingredients (Mix 2) into the dry ingredients (Mix 1) and fold until just combined. Do not overmix.
  5. Stir in the chocolate chips.
  6. Fill each muffin liner about ⅔ full.
  7. Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. The tops should be golden brown.
  8. Let the muffins cool in the tin for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
