INGREDIENTS
-
½ cup Il Fusti Blood Orange Olive Oil
- 1 cup Granulated sugar
- 2 Large eggs
- 1 tsp Vanilla extract
- ⅓ cup Unsweetened cocoa powder
- ½ cup All-purpose flour
- ¼ tsp Salt
- ¼ tsp Baking powder
- Zest of 1 blood orange optional, for extra flavor
- ½ cup Chocolate chips optional, for extra richness
INSTRUCTIONS
- Preheat your oven to 350°F. Grease and flour a square baking pan (8x8 inches) or line it with parchment paper for easier removal.
-
In a mixing bowl, combine the Il Fusti Blood Orange Olive Oil and sugar. Mix until well combined.
- Beat in the eggs, one at a time, until fully incorporated. Stir in the vanilla extract and blood orange zest if using.
- In a separate bowl, sift together the cocoa powder, flour, salt, and baking powder. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
- If using chocolate chips, fold them into the batter until evenly distributed.
- Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan and spread it out evenly.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with moist crumbs (not wet batter). Be careful not to overbake, as brownies can become dry.
- Once baked, remove the brownies from the oven and allow them to cool in the pan for about 10 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
