Directions

Preheat your oven to 350&# 194;°F (175ðC).

Spray a 12-cup muffin tin with non-stick cooking spray or line with paper liners.

In a large bowl, whisk together the whole wheat flour, baking powder, salt, and sugar until well combined.

In a separate medium bowl, whisk the egg, skim milk, and orange juice until smooth.

Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir with a spatula just until combined; do not overmix.
-
Fold in the chocolate chips, chopped walnuts, and grated orange peel until evenly distributed throughout the batter.
-
Divide the batter evenly among the prepared muffin cups, filling each about two-thirds full.

Bake for 15 to 20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean and the tops are golden brown.

Remove the muffins from the oven and let them cool in the pan for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
