Nathanael’s Orange Chocolate Mint Muffins
This is our third muffin recipe of the day, from Nathanael.
Unfortunately, according to Nathanael, this muffins were just too rich. I think leaving out either the orange or mint would have helped – both together was a little much!

Ingredients:
- 1 egg
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1/4 cup melted butter
- 1/2 cup buttermilk (or 1/2 cup milk with a little lemon juice or vinegar stirred in – let sit for 10 minutes)
- Grated zest of 1 orange
- 1 tsp mint extract
- 1 1/4 cups whole wheat flour
- 1.5 tsp baking powder
- 1/4 tsp baking soda
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 1/2 cup chocolate chips
Directions:
Preheat oven to 375F
Whisk egg with sugar. Whisk in melted butter. Whisk in 1/2 cup buttermilk.
Stir in grated orange zest and mint extract. Stir well until smooth.
In a separate bowl, combine whole wheat flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Stir the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients briefly until just incorporated.
Fold in chocolate chips.
Spoon into prepared muffin cups or loaf pan(s). Bake at 375F until a toothpick comes away dry or with a few moist crumbs when inserted in the center (typically 15-25 minutes for muffins, longer for loaves).
To create this recipe, Nathanael used the “Muffinator”.
