BLOOD ORANGE CHOCOLATE MUFFINS WITH BLOOD ORANGE GLAZE

Steps:

• Pre-heat oven to 375°F. Grease & flour muffin pan or line with baking cups.
• In a bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt until well mixed.
• In a large bowl, combine oil or melted butter, blood orange zest, blood orange juice, vanilla extract and eggs. Mix until well combined. Fold in the dry mixture until just combined (important- do not overmix). Fold in the chocolate chips/chunks (for prettier muffins - reserve a handful of chocolate chips/chunks to place on top after filling the muffin cups). Divide between the muffin pan cups (a large cookie scoop works great for this step).(For bigger muffins, only fill 9-10 muffin pan cups, mounding the batter higher.)
• Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until lightly brown. Test with a toothpick to check center doneness (should come out clean unless it hits chocolate.) Allow to cool slightly.
• Make the glaze: Whisk together the blood orange juice and powdered sugar until smooth (for a thicker glaze use 1 Tablespoon blood orange juice - for a thinner but more blood orange flavor, use 2 Tablespoons of juice. You can also add fresh blood orange zest to the glaze to increase the blood orange flavor).
• Glaze the muffins. The cooler the muffins and longer the glaze sits, the firmer it becomes.
