Chocolate-Orange Muffins

2 cups all-purpose flour
1 cup chocolate chips
¼ cup sugar
1 T. baking powder
½ tsp. salt
½ cup orange juice
½ cup milk
1/3 cup vegetable oil
1 large egg
1 tsp. grated orange peel
Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Grease 12 standard size muffin-pan cups or line with paper liners. Mix together flour, chocolate chips, sugar, baking powder, & salt.
Mix together orange juice, milk, oil, egg & orange peel.
Make a well in the center of the flour mixture. Add milk mixture all at once to well, tossing with a fork until dry ingredients are just moistened. (Do not over mix.)
Spoon batter into prepared pan, filling cups ¾ full. Bake muffins until tops are firm & golden, 20 minutes. Transfer pan to a wire rack to cool slightly. Turn muffins out onto rack to cool completely.
