Instructions
Muffins
Preheat your oven to 190ºC/170ºC fan and get your 12 muffin cases ready - I like to use tulip style muffin cases.
Beat the unsalted butter with the sugar until light and fluffy.
Add each egg, beating well each time.
Add the self raising flour, cocoa powder and salt to the mixture, and beat again.
Finally, pour in the milk and orange extract beat again. Try not to over beat the mixture!
Fold through the chunks of chocolate, and split evenly between the cases.
Bake in the oven for about 25 minutes until they are baked through and springy to touch.
Leave to cool fully.
Decoration
Melt the chocolate, and spoon a little onto the top of each muffin
Press a chocolate orange segment onto the top, and leave to set.
Notes
These muffins are best served fresh and warm, but will last for three days!
I bake into this muffin tray

I used these muffin cases for this bake!
You can leave out the
orange extract
or zest and using
plain chocolate
if you don't want chocolate orange themed, or swap the orange to
mint extract
and swap the chocolate to minty chocolate for a chocolate mint muffin!
