How to Make Orange Hazelnut Muffins

  1. Preheat oven to 180°C (350°F).
  2. Lightly spray a 12-cup muffin tin with olive oil spray or line with paper muffin liners.
  3. In a large mixing bowl, sift together 200g all-purpose flour, 1 tsp baking soda, and 1 tsp baking powder. Stir in 50g ground hazelnuts, 100g brown sugar, the zest of 1 orange, and 50g chocolate chips.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together 2 large eggs, 60ml olive oil, the juice of 1 orange, and 60ml milk.
  5. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and gently mix until just combined. Do not overmix.
  6. Fill each muffin cup about ¾ full.
  7. Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  8. Let the muffins cool in the tin for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
  9. Optional: Brush the tops of the still-warm muffins with a thin layer of orange marmalade for extra sweetness and shine.
