These orange chocolate brownies were inspired by the fact that I have been seeing this combination everywhere, from orange mochas to orange twirls. It got me thinking about baking with orange and chocolate and what treats I could come up with.
As you can probably tell by now, I love making brownies, and it is only right that I bring you a new recipe. After all they seem to be my most popular ones. So many of you loved my triple chocolate brownie recipe, and that is very similar to this. I swap out the vanilla essence for the Dr Oatker Valencian Orange Extract. That coupled with the addition of Terry’s chocolate orange instead of normal chocolate chunk, gives them that extra zesty flavor I craved when I first set out to bake them.
As I didn’t want these brownies to be too bitter, I opted for a dark chocolate with 54% cocoa solids. As always the chocolate quality makes a huge difference, which can be felt in every bite. I like to use Organic cocoa powder along with Aldi’s cocoa powder. I will admit when I first got this powder I was skeptical as it is only 99p, however it has surprised me and lived up to the Aldi quality standard I love.
These orange chocolate brownies are a delight, very gooey rather than cakey like my salted caramel ones.
