Ingredients

• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 tablespoon baking powder
• 3 large eggs
• 2 teaspoons apple cider vinegar
• 1 cup mini chocolate chips
• 2 tablespoons ricotta cheese
• 3 tablespoons finely grated orange zest
• 0.5 cup milk
• 0.5 cup vegetable oil
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 cup white sugar
• 0.5 cup ricotta cheese
• 0.5 cup fresh orange juice
• 2.5 tablespoons fresh orange juice
• 2.5 tablespoons sour cream

Recipe Instructions

Step 1

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

Step 2

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

Step 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.

Step 4

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

Step 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.
