Eggless orange muffins recipe - These are soft, moist, citrus flavored muffins loaded with chocolate chips in it.
Citrus flavored baked goodies are our favorite. You will find many recipes e.g. lemon cake, orange cake, lemon pistachio cookies, lemon cupcakes and so on.
I do bake a lot but lately I am not sharing that many eggless dessert recipes here on the blog. The reason is I bake things during the weeknights not the weekends. So I am not able to take photos.
But these eggless orange muffins with chocolate chips I baked today morning again. Since today is Thanksgiving holiday, I am able to take the photos. These are hubby’s favorite. I have been making these since last few years.
Citrus orangey flavor and chocolate is the BEST combination. Have you tried my chocolate orange cupcakes with orange flavored cream cheese frosting? If not you are missing something.
These muffins are perfect for breakfast or snack time!! Since these have chocolate chips in it which adds extra sweetness. So this can be served a dessert too. You can drizzle the orange glaze on top to make it extra special.

Awesome recipe for muffins. However, a few choco chips would make them even more delicious. What are your thoughts about it?
It already has chocolate chips in it. and you are asking about my thoughts.
did you even read the recipe? Or just trying to promote your site which has stolen pics from other sites.
What is the orange Zest. if it is not possible then what should we add?
Zest is outer layer of the orange skin. use the fine grater and grate the only orange part of the skin. Do not grate the white part that is bitter.
I have usually made muffins using eggs but the next time I try these muffins I am gonna make these muffins eggless and share my feedback with you...Hope my recipe turns out good...
