Description
These Orange Chocolate Chip Muffins taste sinful, but they are made with whole wheat flour and unrefined sugar!
Ingredients
Scale
Dry Ingredients
- 2 cups whole wheat pastry flour
- 1/3 cup coconut sugar or organic sugar
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
Wet Ingredients
- 1 1/4 cup unsweetened almond milk + 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar (let sit a few minutes) or buttermilk
- 1/4 cup orange juice
- 2 large eggs
- 1/4 cup coconut oil, melted, or grape seed oil
- 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
- 1/2 teaspoon wild orange essential oil OR 1-2 tablespoons orange zest
Extra
- 3/4 cup mini chocolate chips (I use EnjoyLife’s dairy and soy-free chips)
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees. Oil a muffin pan, or line with paper liners and spray them with oil. Set it aside while you prepare your ingredients.
- In a large bowl, whisk together the dry ingredients. In a separate bowl, whisk together the wet ingredients.
- Pour the wet ingredients over the dry ingredients and mix with a wooden spoon until just combined. Stir in the chocolate chips. Do not over mix or you’ll end up with dense muffins.
- Fill each cup of the muffin pan almost to the top. Bake in the preheated oven for 15 minutes, or until the muffins are just turning golden brown and a toothpick comes out clean.
- Allow to cool on a rack before removing the muffins from the tin. Enjoy!
