Ingredients

• 200 g All-purpose flour
• 30 g Cocoa powder (unsweetened)
• 2 tsp Baking powder
• 0.5 tsp Baking soda
• 0.25 tsp Salt
• 150 g Granulated sugar
• 80 g Unsalted butter (melted)
• 1 Egg
• 120 ml Milk
• 60 ml Orange juice (freshly squeezed)
• 1 tbsp Orange zest
• 100 g Dark chocolate chips
• 4 tbsp Orange marmalade

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F) and line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, sift together the all-purpose flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Stir in the sugar and mix well.

Step 3

In a separate bowl, whisk together the melted butter, egg, milk, orange juice, and orange zest until fully combined.

Step 4

Make a well in the center of the dry ingredients and pour the wet ingredients into it. Gently fold the mixture together until just combined. Avoid overmixing to ensure the muffins stay light and fluffy.

Step 5

Fold in the dark chocolate chips until evenly distributed throughout the batter.

Step 6

Divide the batter equally among the 12 muffin cups, filling each about 3/4 full.

Step 7

Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.

Step 8

Let the muffins cool in the tin for 5 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 9

Once the muffins are fully cooled, use a small knife or a teaspoon to make a shallow well in the top of each muffin. Add about 1 teaspoon of orange marmalade to each well.

Step 10

Serve your Jaffa Muffins immediately or store them in an airtight container for up to 3 days. Enjoy!
