Chocolate Orange Brownies

Ingredients 

  • 120g butter, melted and hot

  • 1tbsp vegetable oil 

  • 135g caster sugar

  • 135g light brown sugar

  • 2 large eggs 

  • 2 tsp vanilla extract

  • 75g plain flour

  • 60g unsweetened cocoa powder

  • ¼ tsp salt 

  • 2 large oranges, zest of 2, juice of 1 orange

Method

Step 1

Pre-heat oven to 180C 

Lightly grease an 8 inch square baking tin with butter and grease proof paper

Step 2

Combine the hot melted butter, oil and sugar together in a medium sized bowl whisk well for about a minute. Add the eggs and vanilla extract and beat until light in colour 

Sift in the flour, cocoa powder and salt. Gently fold in the dry ingredients until just combined - do not over mix

Pour the batter into the prepared pan, smooth over the top

Step 3

Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the centre of the brownies no longer jiggles - the brownie mix will continue to bake in the hot pan even after removed from the oven 

Allow to cool and then cut into 16 pieces 

Enjoy!
