Orange Choc-Chip Muffins

Nick picked this for me to bake because he didn't think the Blueberry, Orange and Pistachio Muffins would be enough for Bake Off. Luckily we had all the ingredients in the pantry that morning.

2 cups plain flour
1/2 cup soft brown sugar, firmly packed
1/2 cup castor sugar
1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon bicarbonate of soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/3 cup vegetable oil
1/4 cup orange juice
1/4 cup orange liqueur
1 egg
1 teaspoon grated orange zest
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 cup chocolate chips
icing sugar or cocoa, for dusting

Preheat oven to 200 deg C. Grease muffin tins.

In a large bowl sift together flour, sugars, baking powder, bicarbonate of soda and salt.

In a separate bowl mix together oil, orange juice, liqueur, egg, orange zest and vanilla.

Make a well in the centre of the dry ingredients and add orange mixture.

Stir to combine, then fold in chocolate chips.

Spoon batter into prepared muffin tins and bake for 15-20 minutes.

Serve dusted with icing sugar or cocoa.
