Recipe #92: Orange Chocolate Chip Muffins

Orange Chocolate Chip Muffins
This recipe was not taken from the book, 201 Muffins. I decided there were not enough orange recipes, so I'm adding two or three, starting with Orange Chocolate Chip Muffins.

For these muffins, I used a recipe I've used before: the Basic Muffins recipe from King Arthur Flour's website. I looked at several orange chocolate chip recipes, but I didn't like them--most either had not enough orange flavor or were too complicated (unnecessarily, I determined). So I made my own version, starting with the Basic Muffins recipe, using chunks of orange for the fruit (1 cup) and 1/2 cup chocolate chips and 1/2 cup walnuts. I did a bit of tinkering that I now don't recall. They came out a little dry, I think, though I'm not sure why--maybe the result of my tinkering? My tasters liked them though they didn't rave. I probably won't make them again unless I come across a better recipe.

I rated these 4 out of 5, mostly for the dryness.

Next up, another orange recipe, this time Orange Chocolate Muffins.
