Wednesday Recipes: Chocolate Chip Orange Muffins

Good afternoon, beloved readers. This morning, Kathy and I served food for the fellowship hour and I have several new recipes to share with you!

Well, in actuality, this is an old recipe...as you can tell from the cover of the cookbook. The book is a reprint of an older 1934 Hershey's cookbook. I got it when one of my daughter's roommates left it behind after moving. don't you love surprises?

It's yummy, with or without the orange peel included. Blessings, Christina

Chocolate Chip Orange Muffins

Ingredients:

1 egg

1/2 cup milk

1/4 cup vegetable oil

1 1/2 cups al-purpose flour

1/2 cup sugar

2 teaspoons baking powder

1/2 teaspoon salt

3/4 cup Hershey's milk chocolate chips (I prefer dark chocolate)

1 to 1 1/2 teaspoons freshly grated orange peel

Directions:

1. Heat oven to 400 degrees.

2. Grease 12 muffin cups or use silicone muffin liners (as depicted in the picture--so easy to use).

3. In medium bowl, beat egg; stir in milk and oil.

4. Stir together flour, sugar, baking powder and salt; add all at once to egg mixture. Stir just until moistened (batter should be lumpy).

5. Stir in chocolate chips and orange peel (if using).

6. Fill prepared muffin cups 2/3 full with batter.

7. Bake 20 to 25 minutes or until lightly browned.

8. Remove from pans; serve warm (or not if you're taking them somewhere--they're delicious either way!).

Yield 12 muffins
