Yes. Do that. :rotfl:

Ok, I'm going to make more later this week. I'd like to take out the hazelnuts, because I have a hankering for chocolate orange muffins. :drool:

Can someone tell me how to make them all nice and orangey please?

I've got this, if it's any help:

I won't go away until someone tells me.... :whistle:

Hi Mr BE

My choc orange muffin recipe uses real oranges...have you got any?

See recipe below......(YUM YUM)


225g / 8 oz plain flour
55g / 2 oz cocoa powder
3 tsp baking powder
115g / 4 oz sugar
1 egg
6 tbsp sunflower oil
7 fl oz milk
Zest and juice of 1 orange
100 - 115g / 4 oz chocolate drops/choc chips

Preheat oven to Gas Mark 6 / 200 degrees C
Sift the flour, cocoa and baking powder into a large bowl. Add the remaining ingredients and mix to a batter. (Don't over-mix the batter - it spoils the muffins)
Pour into muffin cases.
Bake for 15-18 minutes.
Makes about 12 muffins

If you haven't any real oranges then I suggest just a few drops of your orange essence....but go VERY easy with it

cheers

Bobby

Hi there Mr BE!
I haven't been on here for a while - have to catch up with yr exploits! Loved yr other threads and choc yog cake recipe is fab too!

Think the orange liqueur may be wasted in muffins - best keep it for a choc orange mousse - or choc orange hazelnut mousse! (use nutella and double cream - fab)

Just remember with muffins, DON'T OVERMIX!
Also if you use baking powder with SR flour get bigger and better muffins.

Sorry to have missed this thread while it was live.

A quick question.

DH can't eat brown chocolate. :sad: I have a theory that vanilla muffin mix might be rather good with M & S white chocolate raisins sprinkled through and on it. What do people think? Will it work? :rolleyes:

I've been meaning to try this for weeks now, so if anyone wants to pilot it before I get to doing it, you are very welcome.....:rotfl:

:wave: Nope. Unusually, I've got two nice big pink grapefruit. Can I use them? :rotfl:

Errr...that's not essence, its a 40% proof orange liqueur from www.jos-nusbaumer.com I visited their distillery in Steige over Christmas. :j:beer: It was a freebie and I'm not quite sure what to do with it.*
















*Apart from the bleedin' obvious. :rolleyes:

Can't I just use the same recipe and add orangey stuff?
