Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 113 grams unsalted butter
- 170 grams semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 200 grams granulated sugar
- 50 grams brown sugar
- 3 large eggs
- 1 tablespoon orange zest
- 2 tablespoons fresh orange juice
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 120 grams all-purpose flour
- 30 grams unsweetened cocoa powder
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon baking powder
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 175°C (350°F) and line an 8x8-inch (20x20 cm) baking pan with parchment paper, leaving some overhang for easy brownie removal.
In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the butter and semi-sweet chocolate chips together in 30-second intervals, stirring after each interval, until smooth. Allow to cool slightly.
Whisk in the granulated sugar and brown sugar into the melted chocolate mixture until combined.
Add the eggs, one at a time, whisking well after each addition. Mix in the orange zest, orange juice, and vanilla extract until smooth.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, unsweetened cocoa powder, salt, and baking powder.
Gently fold the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients using a spatula until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
Pour the batter into the prepared pan and spread evenly with a spatula.
Bake for 28-32 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with a few moist crumbs. Be mindful not to overbake, as you want the brownies to remain fudgy.
Let the brownies cool completely in the pan on a wire rack before lifting them out using the parchment paper overhang.
Slice into 12 squares and serve. Enjoy the rich chocolate and refreshing orange flavors!
