Ingredients

Original recipe (1X) yields 18 servings

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour

  • 1 tablespoon baking powder

  • ½ teaspoon salt

  • 3 large eggs

  • ½ cup fresh orange juice

  • 2 ½ tablespoons fresh orange juice

  • ½ cup ricotta cheese

  • 2 tablespoons ricotta cheese

  • ½ cup vegetable oil

  • ½ cup milk

  • ½ cup white sugar

  • 3 tablespoons finely grated orange zest

  • 2 ½ tablespoons sour cream

  • 2 teaspoons apple cider vinegar

  • 1 cup mini chocolate chips

Directions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Line 18 muffin cups with paper liners.

  2. Whisk flour, baking powder, and salt together in a large bowl.

  3. Whisk eggs, 1/2 cup plus 2 1/2 tablespoons orange juice, 1/2 cup plus 2 tablespoons ricotta, vegetable oil, milk, sugar, orange zest, sour cream, and vinegar in a medium bowl. Make a well in the center of the flour mixture; pour in egg mixture and chocolate chips. Stir until flour is just moistened. Be sure not to overmix to avoid overly tough muffins.

  4. Spoon about 1/4 cup batter into each muffin cup.

  5. Bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, 18 to 20 minutes. Transfer to a wire rack to cool for 5 minutes before serving.

Cook's Notes:

Fresh orange juice works best, but store-bought works too.

Omit the chocolate chips and add a chocolate frosting for an easy cupcake.
