Grilled Chocolate Orange Cupcakes

Grilled Chocolate Orange Cupcakes

Serves: 20 orange filled cupcakes | Prep Time: 20 min | Cook Time: 25 min

 

Ingredients

  • 1 package (16 oz) Better Batter Gluten Free Chocolate Cake Mix
  • 1/2 cups (65g) vegetable oil
  • 1 1/4 cups (296g) water
  • 1 cup (170g) miniature chocolate chips (we used Enjoy Life brand to make this allergen free)
  • 10 navel oranges, hollowed out
  • foil
  • confectioner’s glaze if desired (we just mixed powdered sugar with water)

 

Instructions

Cut your oranges in half and hollow them out, using your fingers, a citrus spoon, or a juicer (you’ll still need to pull the flesh out if using a juicer), leaving only the white pith. Set aside.

Heat your grill or campfire, while you mix up the batter. Heat to medium high heat.

Mix Ingredients. In a bowl, mix together cake mix, oil, and water until thickened and smooth. Add chocolate chips and stir.

Place about 2-4 tablespoons in each orange half. You should fill these about 3/4 full.

Place a piece of foil on the heated grill and arrange orange halves on the foil. Cover with another piece of foil, loosely, like a tent. Grill on indirect heat for 25 minutes without grill lid down or 15 minutes with grill lid down. Allow to sit for 5 minutes before serving.

Garnish with confectioner’s glaze if desired.
