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.

The Ellie@Home 2020 Summer Reading List

   Good Evening and Happy Memorial Day! This post is far later than I planned thanks to technical difficulties (sob, sob) but here it is, better late than never! The earlier version of this post was wry, witty, and weird, and I don’t recall any of it now on my THIRD attempt. So without further ado (or headaches) I’m going to dive in. I have 34 books for this summer’s list. Because I can’t order from my library, I scoured my shelves for books that I haven’t read or have not finished. I managed to come up with 28. I grabbed one of Josh’s books, and two of Liam’s, then on a whim treated myself to a copy of Caleb Carr’s The Alienist and Angel of Darkness for my Kindle. Then, just when I thought I had enough (plenty!) Henry Roi from HellBound Books kindly sent me a review copy of The Horror Writer: A Study of Craft and Identity in the Horror Genre compiled and edited by Joe Mynhardt. This is at the top of my reading list, partly because it sounds really interesting and informative, a

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

Carrying On

I hope this finds you and your loved ones well. My family has been fine during this stressful time, anxiety a little high but nothing debilitating, and certainly nothing we haven't been able to work through. Still, each day is an exercise in uncertainty, wondering if we are doing enough to keep ourselves and others safe, wondering if our luck will change, and what we will do if that does happen. We recently learned that our boy will not be going back to school next month (we weren't going to send him anyway), and now my husband and I are trying to figure out how we are going to oversee our son's virtual schooling while both of us are working full time. My husband has said that is the main topic of canversation in his workplace, as many of his coworkers are parents to school-age children and both parents are working. It is less of a conversation at my workplace; not so many of us have school-age children, though a handful have school-age grandchildren. Because I work
