I like to start my recipes by weighting all the ingredients first so the process is more fun and easier. Preheat the oven at 410F or 210C

In a bowl add the granulated sugar and the zest of one orange, rub the zest with the sugar for about two minutes using your hands.

Sift the flour using a flour sifter or sieve to remove any lumps and add it to the sugar and orange mixture. Add the baking powder as well. Using a whisk mix everything together until it’s well combined.

In a separate mixing bowl crack five eggs, pour in the oil and milk and mix, you wanna make sure to whisk this until its smooth. If you prefer a smoother consistency you can strain the mixture through a sieve to remove any lumps.

after mixing the eggs, oil and milk until smooth you can add the flour mixture to the liquid mixture. Be careful not to overmix the batter. Gently fold the dry ingredients into the wet ingredient until combined.

you can use chocolate chips, chunks, you can even use fruit if you want for this step.

Add as much chocolate as you want to the batter and mix again using a spatula or wooden spoon, just until you see that the chocolate is well distributed everywhere.

Spoon the batter into the muffin pan lined with muffin papers filling almost to the top, leavings some space so they don't overflow. Sprinkle some sugar on top of each muffin, this will add a really nice crunch on top (my favorite part of the muffins).

Now bake the muffins at 410F or 210C for about 13 minutes. After 13 minutes reduce the oven temperature (to make it easier open the oven door for 5 seconds and change the oven temperature to 340 F or 170C.) Bake them for 3 more minutes or until the muffins are fully cooked.

check to see if they are cooked inserting a wooden stick in the middle, if there’s still wet batter cook them for a little longer but if you see the wooden stick coming out clean or with crumbs they are ready to eat. Allow them to cool down for a couple minutes.

Enjoy your muffins. You can freeze them in bags and then pop them into the microwave for a couple minutes before eating. I love to eat them with milk but they go perfect with your coffee or tea!
