Muffin Monday: Chocolate Chip Orange Muffins

*** Indulge in heavenly chocolate paired with intense bits of orange. Enjoy this wonderfully rich muffin with a steaming cup of coffee when you need to stress down.


From Denny: This recipe is from a bed and breakfast in Michigan. This bed and breakfast sports a number of interesting themed packages to enjoy. They have a special shopping package where they have teamed up with 10 shops in their area where you can get some great discounts with the range from clothing to food and drink and even local art.

These shops are a wine sellar of 200 wines from around the world, local pottery, a green recycled products shop carrying famous names, a spice merchant, a gourmet food and kitchen supply shop, an antique mall of 175 merchants, a local folk art shop and artisan hand-knit clothing.

*** Remember to support small business in your area and when you travel. Why stay at a Big Business hotel as you travel when you can stay in a more home like atmosphere of a bed and breakfast inn? The prices are comparable, the people friendlier and your stay will be memorable.




A similar version of chocolate chip muffins from Laura HB @ flickr - these bed and breakfast inns rarely provide photos but this muffin should look just like it only with flecks of yummy orange peel throughout the muffin.
