Ingredients

⅓ C canola oil
⅓ C honey
2 eggs room temp
zest of 1 orange about 2 Tbsp
2 tablespoon orange juice or however much you can get out of 1 orange
2 teaspoon vanilla extract
¾ C milk or milk substitute, like almond milk
1 ¾ C GF flour blend* or all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon baking powder
½ teaspoon salt
¼ teaspoon nutmeg
½ C mini chocolate chips
sugar to sprinkle on top optional

Instructions

Preheat oven to 425°F. Spray a 12 cup muffin pan with non-stick spray, or line with muffin cups. Set aside.
In a large bowl, combine oil, honey, eggs, vanilla, zest, juice and milk.
In a medium bowl, combine flour, baking soda, baking powder, salt and nutmeg.
Add dry ingredients to wet. Using a large spoon, stir until just combined. Do not over mix.
Add chocolate chips and gently combine until evenly distributed.
Using a large cookie scoop, evenly distribute batter into 12 muffin cups. They'll be about ¾ full, which is perfect to get those beautiful muffin tops!
Bake on center rack of preheated oven 5 minutes at 425°F. Then turn oven down to 350°F and bake for another 8-10 minutes, or until puffed and set in the center.
Remove and allow to cool in pan for 5 minutes. Run a knife around the edge and pop out and fully cool on wire rack. ENJOY!

Notes

*I always use King Arthur's Measure for Measure Gluten Free flour blend in my GF recipes, however, any blend, such as Cup4Cup or Bob's Red Mill 1:1 should work just as well.
