Dark Chocolate Orange Muffins

Prep time: 10 minutes
Cook time: 20 minutes
Total time: 30 minutes
Serves: 12 muffins
Dense but moist, packed with dark chocolate, with a hint of orange and vanilla flavor, and the nuttiness from the spelt flour.
Ingredients
150 g all purpose flour
150 g organic spelt flour
100 g organic raw cane sugar
1 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp baking soda
pinch of salt
1 Tbsp orange zest (1 big orange or 2 small)
1 tsp vanilla extract
80 ml orange juice (1 big orange or 2 small)
100 g sour cream
100 g whipping ream
2 organic free range eggs
60 g vegetable oil (I used peanut oil) or melted butter
3/4 cup dark chocolate chips
 
 
Instructions
  1. Preheat the oven to 350° F and line a muffin pan or individual muffin cups.
  2. In a medium bowl mix the sifted flours, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
  3. In another bowl mix well the eggs with the sugar, sour cream, whipping cream, oil or butter, Pour the wet ingredients into the dry, mixing lightly, just until the flour is no longer visible. Do not overmix!
  4. At the end add the chocolate chips, previously tossed lightly in the flour.
  5. Fill the muffin cups with batter and bake in the preheated oven for about 15-20 minutes, or until nice and golden brown on top and a skewer inserted in the middle comes out clean.
  6. Let cool on a griddle (but they're awesome warm, when the chocolate just melts in your hands and mouth).
Notes
They can be frozen, individually wrapped in plastic, and then warmed up in the oven ready for breakfast.

Habit formation is an extremely personal endeavor, but there are some more specific ways you can increase your chances of success. In fact, some of the most effective tricks are pretty counterintuitive for most people. Here are just five you should consider. Focus on a trigger rather than t...

Beauty for Your September Morning...

To the Light of September By W. S. Merwin When you are already here you appear to be only a name that tells of you whether you are present or not and for now it seems as though you are still summer still the high familiar endless summer yet with a glint of bronze in the chill mornings and the late yellow petals of the mullein fluttering on the stalks that lean over their broken shadows across the cracked ground but they all know that you have come the seed heads of the sage the whispering birds with nowhere to hide you to keep you for later you who fly with them you who are neither before nor after you who arrive with blue plums that have fallen through the night perfect in the dew
