Ingredients 

2 cups all-purpose flour

1 tablespoon baking powder

1/2 teaspoon Real Salt

1/2 cup miniature semisweet chocolate morsels

2 large eggs

1/2 cup sugar

1/2 cup milk

2 fresh squeezed oranges

1 tablespoon finely shredded orange peel

1/4 cup vegetable oil

1 Wilton ready-to-use icing tube (your choice of flavor) 

Directions

Preheat oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit. Use center rack.

Line twelve 2 1/2-inch muffin cups with paper baking cups; set aside. 

In a large bowl stir together flour, baking powder, and salt. Stir in chocolate pieces. Make a well in the center of flour mixture; set aside.

In a medium bowl combine eggs, sugar, milk, zested orange peel, ½ cup orange juice, and oil. Add egg mixture all at once to flour mixture. Stir just until moistened (expect batter to be lumpy).

Spoon 1/4 cup of the batter into each prepared muffin cup. 

Bake for 18 to 20 minutes or until a wooden toothpick inserted in centers comes out clean and dry.

Cool in muffin cups on a wire rack for 5 minutes. Squeeze generously with lines of icing. Serve while still warm.
