    This is a great recipe for Easy Gluten Free Muffins with Orange and Chocolate! Muffins that have a hint of fresh orange & are oozing with a chocolate centre!
    Easy Gluten Free Muffins with orange and chocolate!
    I originally was craving for muffins ...soft, fluffy and moist muffins!
    Muffins are the best comfort food....especially hot, straight out of the oven!
    The best part is pulling that crispy muffin top off and eating that first and then rewarding yourself with the remaining soft, fluffy base.... (this sounds like the intro to a good romantic movie...)

    So I took the risk and experimented with a muffin recipe just to add a little bit of flair to those soft muffins.
     I added freshly squeezed orange juice and that gave them the perfect citrus taste!
    ..AND...
    ....then I filled the centre with warm, oozing chocolate!!
    Yes - they became awesome!!
    ...I know my family was very happy with the outcome of the experiment ! 
    There weren't any left !! 
     
    So I thought I would share with you these gorgeous muffins ...
    and know that they will bring a smile to your day...(and to your tummy! 🙂
