Another month has gone by and it is time once again to share a recipe via #MuffinMonday. Since autumn is finally officially here, I wanted to do one that reminded me of the fall colors that in a couple of weeks will be all over the trees, if not already.

So the golds and earthy browns came to mind, and I decided to bake that in the muffins as the flavors of orange and chocolate which go together amazingly well.

I hope you enjoy these along with a hot steaming cup of coffee or your favorite drink while perusing all the #MuffinMonday recipes below! Until tomorrow-
