Ingredients

• 3 cups (375g) plain flour
• 3/4 cup (170g) caster sugar
• 2 teaspoons baking powder
• 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 1 cup (175g) chocolate chips
• Zest of one large orange
• 1 large egg
• 1/4 cup (60ml) orange juice
• 1 cup (240ml) buttermilk
• 1/2 cup (100ml) vegetable oil
• 12 teaspoons Nutella
• 2 cups (250g) icing sugar
• 1 - 2 tablespoons orange juice
• Orange zest, to garnish

Directions

• Preheat the oven to 200C/400F/Gas 6. Line a 12-hole muffin pan with muffin cases, then set aside.
• Whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, salt, chocolate chips, and zest. Set aside.
• Whisk together the egg, orange juice, buttermilk, and oil. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, and mix until just combined. Do not over-mix.
• Divide the batter evenly between the 12 muffin cases, filling only half way. Place a teaspoon of Nutella into the centre of each muffin, then cover with the remaining muffin batter. Bake for 15 - 20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted just off-centre (to avoid Nutella) comes out clean. Allow to cool for 10 minutes in the pan, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
• Whisk together the icing sugar, and 1 - 2 tablespoons of orange juice. Add a little water if the icing is too thick.
• Drizzle the icing on top of the cooled muffins, and garnish with orange zest and chocolate chips.
