Ingredients

• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 tablespoon baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoons salt
• 3 large eggs
• 0.5 cups fresh orange juice
• 2.5 tablespoons fresh orange juice
• 0.5 cups ricotta cheese
• 2 tablespoons ricotta cheese
• 0.5 cups vegetable oil

• 0.5 cups white sugar
• 3 tablespoons finely grated orange zest
• 2.5 tablespoons sour cream
• 2 teaspoons apple cider vinegar

Instructions

1. 1

   Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Line 18 muffin cups with paper liners.

2. 2

   Whisk flour, baking powder, and salt together in a large bowl.

3. 3

   Whisk eggs, 1/2 cup plus 2 1/2 tablespoons orange juice, 1/2 cup plus 2 tablespoons ricotta, vegetable oil, milk, sugar, orange zest, sour cream, and vinegar in a medium bowl. Make a well in the center of the flour mixture; pour in egg mixture and chocolate chips. Stir until flour is just moistened. Be sure not to overmix to avoid overly tough muffins.

4. 4

   Spoon about 1/4 cup batter into each muffin cup.

5. 5

   Bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, 18 to 20 minutes. Transfer to a wire rack to cool for 5 minutes before serving.
