Chocolate Orange Brownies
Servings: 9 squares
Ingredients
- 75 g cocoa powder
- 185 g dairy free butter
- 300 g caster sugar
- 3 large eggs
- 2 teaspoons orange extract
- 120 g gluten free plain flour
- 1/4 teaspoon xanthan gum
- 200 g dairy free chocolate orange (see FAQs)
Instructions
- Pre heat the oven to 180°C and grease and line a 20cm square baking tin.
- Add your cocoa powder, dairy free butter and caster sugar to a saucepan and gently heat on the hob until it forms a chocolatey liquid mixture. Stir continuously so it doesn’t burn.
- Leave to cool for a few minutes while you beat your eggs in a separate bowl. Gradually add the beaten eggs to the chocolate mixture and stir well. Add your orange extract and mix again.
- Next, add your gluten free flour and xanthan gum to the mixture and stir until fully combined.
- Break up 100g of your dairy free chocolate orange segments and stir into the mixture. Pour the mixture into your lined baking tin.
- Bake for around 25 minutes to 35 minutes (this really does depend on your oven and how you like your brownies - for a fudgy brownie take them out sooner and for a more cakey brownie leave them in a little longer).
- Remove from the oven and press the chocolate orange segments into the top. Leave to cool completely. I prefer to leave my brownies in the fridge for a couple of hours before removing and cutting. The fridge helps the brownies become even more fudgy and delicious.
