Whole Wheat Muffins

I found this recipe:
http://www.mrbreakfast.com/superdisplay.asp?recipeid=872

And modified it to the following:
2 c. whole wheat flour
1 t. baking powder
1 t. baking soda
1/2 t. salt
Separately:
1 c. orange juice
1/2 c. canola oil
1/2 c. honey

Blend two mixtures
(I put some chocolate chips in half the batch)

Bake in prepared muffin pan (well greased, or lined with paper baking cups) at 375 for 25+ minutes.

Verdict:
They were good. We ate them cold, and I think they would have been even better warm.
