Orange Flavoured Chocolate Chip Muffins

I was itching to make muffins, it's one of my favourite things to do. So after work, being a good girl and first eating my salad (smothered in olive oil), I wondered what I could create today. There wasn't much to choose from, I had not been to the store after Easter and had no desire to even go there in the middle of the rush hour.

I had chocolate. So chocolate chip muffins were a natural conclusion. I used Lindt & Sprüngli Orange Intense, that is a fine dark chocolate with pieces of orange and almond slivers. It suited beautifully. These muffins have a light citrus taste enchanced by the use of lemon yoghurt.


Absolutely delicous with a cup of chaï while reading a book and listening the rain drops. I find that rain is a good excuse for treats like these, and it rains quite a lot in Ireland!
