Orange choc chip muffins of extreme deliciousness (ノ゚0゚)ノ~

These are really easy to make, so roll right into the kitchen & get baking!

So many FX, your eyes will suffer (╥╥)

Equipment:
- A large plastic container with lid for storing the muffins

Ingredients:
Dry -
2 Cups of GF Self-raising Flour
2 heaped tbs of Glutenous rice Flour *(optional)
1 cup of Raw sugar (organic if possible)
2 tsp of Orgran No Egg egg replacer
1 tsp of Baking powder < Check that it is Gluten-free
Zest of 1 (washed & dried) Orange (organic if possible)
1/4 Cup of Vegan, GF Choc chips
Wet -
1 Cup of Water
1/2 Cup of Fresh Orange juice (organic if possible)
1/3 Cup of Canola oil (or any other light flavoured oil)

*Due to the oil in the recipe, greasing the muffin tray should be unnecessary if it is a non-stick tray, if you feel like you need to though, only grease it lightly*

Method:
1. Preheat the oven to 170°C (340°F) on fan bake. *Do this ahead of time, because the recipe is quite quick to assemble.
2. Combine all the dry ingredients in a large mixing bowl, & stir until well mixed.
3. Next, add all the wet ingredients to the dry, & stir the mixture vigorously with a wooden spoon until a thick, lump free batter is formed. *(If the batter seems overly thick or thin simply adjust with a little extra flour or water as per your requirements)
4. Carefully transfer the mixture to the muffin tray, & place in the oven to bake for 22-25 minutes, or until muffins are golden brown. *(Always avoid opening the oven door if you can, this can spoil baked goods)
5. When the muffins are done, allow them to sit in the oven with the door open for a few minutes before moving the tray to a cooling rack. After 5-10 minutes on the rack, carefully remove the muffins from the tray & place them on the rack to cool.
6. Once cooled completely, move the muffins to a large container with a clip on lid to keep them fresh :) If you don't have a large enough container, you can wrap them in plastic-wrap, but a container is much more eco friendly.
NOW EAT!!!

(Makes 12 awesome muffins)

*!As usual please always check your ingredients to make sure there are no hidden nasties!

These muffins are great for many reasons, light & delicious, but also quite quick & easy to make :D I've shared these muffins with a few friends, & it's always thumbs up all round!
...
Just a quick note about Glutenous rice flour, it does not contain gluten! It is just a type of rice that is particularly sticky & stretchy, so it's handy to add to baked goods to add some strength & stretch ;) It can be found in Asian, & Indian grocery stores, as well as online :)

I made this recipe up, & have refined it over a couple of weeks, so I hope it works for everyone, & that you all enjoy it!

Later! ( ゚▽゚)/
