Chocolate & Mandarin Autumn Muffins

 

A riff on the classic choc/orange combination, these chocolate & mandarin muffins are a curiously delicious treat. The perfect treat for Autumn.

INGREDIENTS

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour

  • 1 cup white sugar

  • ¾ cup chocolate chips

  • ½ cup unsweetened cocoa powder

  • 1 teaspoon baking soda

  • 1 egg

  • 3/4 cup plain yogurt

  • 1/4 cup fresh mandarin juice

  • ½ cup milk

  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

  • ½ cup vegetable oil

  • ¼ cup chocolate chips

METHOD

Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Grease 12 muffin cups or line with paper muffin liners.

Combine flour, sugar, 3/4 cup chocolate chips, cocoa powder, and baking soda in a large bowl. Whisk egg, yogurt, milk, vanilla, and vegetable oil in another bowl until smooth; pour into chocolate mixture and stir until batter is just blended. Fill prepared muffin cups 3/4 full and sprinkle with remaining 1/4 cup chocolate chips.

Bake in preheated oven until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, about 20 minutes. Cool in the pans for 10 minutes before removing to cool completely on a wire rack.

Sprinkle generously with The Curious Cabinet Mandarin Dust.
