Mmm!!! That's sounds good Rajitha, delicious combo.
See you Monday, enjoy the weekend!:)
What or who is RR?
Chocolate and Orange always go well together:) nice and easy Rajitha:)
That's an awesome picture Rajitha, and love the combo of chocolate and orange...yummy!
Oooh! Chocolate and orange- a match made in heaven!:-) Your muffin looks very soft and moist. A Tbsp of flax meal- is that just so that you feel less guilty about indulging?;-)
I make chocolate-orange brownies regularly but have never made these as muffins.
I've stopped making resolutions...never seems to work anyway!:-)
SRA- RR is Rachel Ray.:-)You know how Rajitha likes to make her readers think a bit!
Lovely ...orange and chocolates are a great combi
The muffin looks gorgeous. Forget the typo error Raji, we all know it, n still will be able to read your posts. Dont bother correcting. We dont mind
this is a fantastic recipe - is the flax meal is like an egg substitute?
i could never get "and" right for a loooong time - my assignments in school used to filled with "nad"s - so i can imagine :D
good combo, that one :)
Rajitha, TBC - am enlightened :-)
I kept thinking of rest and recreation but it didn't seem to fit - I live in India, not used to RR but always keep dreaming of R & R. Heh heh!
I've been meaning to try orange and chocolate combo ever since TBC raved about Nandita's brownies. Now here's a lovely alternative. Can i skip the falx meal? (don't have it).

Just sinful and decadent. I see that you have used flax meal in this recipe. That's why I left a comment in your vegan scones post. Thanks for sharing this great muffins.
