Vegan chocolate orange muffins
A chocolate orange in cake form.
Ingredients
- 200 grams plain flour
- 90 grams dark brown sugar
- 50 grams caster sugar
- 70 grams cocoa powder
- 4 tsp baking powder
- 2 - 3 tsp orange extract
- 450 ml non-dairy milk We used oat milk
- 3 tbsp oil We used olive oil
- 125 grams dark chocolate chips Check ingredients as some brands include animal products. We used Dr. Oetker
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 180 deg c/gas mark 4
- Stick the chocolate chips in the freezer while you prepare the ingredients
- Line a muffin tin with paper cases
- Sift the flour and cocoa powder into a bowl
- Remove two tablespoons of the mix and put aside
- Add the baking powder and combine
- In a jug measure out the milk, oil and orange extract
- Add the wet ingredients to the dry and stir
- Get your chocolate chips from the freezer and put aside 50g
- Toss the remaining chips in the flour and cocoa mix and fold gently into the batter
- Pour the batter into the prepared cases - a large ice-cream scoop is useful for this
- Scatter the remaining chocolate chips onto the tops of the muffins
- Bake for 20 - 30 minutes, testing after 20 to see if a skewer comes out cleanly
- Allow them to cool in the tin for about 5 minutes before putting them on a wire tray to finish cooling, if you can keep your hands off them for that long!
