Orange chicken that’s hot. I serve with snow peas that have been cooked, salted, and buttered as a side dish and over basmati rice.

- Break bread into small pieces into the bowl and mix until well combined and bread is wet. Add chocolate chips and chia seeds; mix well.
- Divide mixture evenly between the prepared muffin cups and sprinkle with brown sugar.
- Bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean, about 20 minutes.

So creamy and delicious. Made mine wuth pecans and raisins, added a scoop of vanilla ice cream.
1.6.21 They come out of the oven all beautifully puffed up but very quickly deflate like a souffle. Perhaps not so pretty, but that’s OK, because they’re delicious! Baked an extra five minutes, and the texture was moist, tender, almost a bit creamy, and oh-so-easy to make. I could see adding a bit of vanilla and using mini chocolate chips rather than the regular size, but there’s nothing else that I would change. Was hoping with the word “muffins” in the title that they might be something that you could pick up to eat, but they’re too soft to do that. One thing that I do like is the portion control you get baking these into muffins. Thanks for sharing, nice recipe.
