Ingredients
- 1 cup unsalted butter
- 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 0.5 cup packed brown sugar
- 3 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon orange blossom water
- 1 tablespoon orange zest
- 0.75 cup all-purpose flour
- 0.25 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon baking powder
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line an 8x8-inch baking pan with parchment paper, leaving some overhang for easy removal.
Step 2
In a heatproof bowl, melt the unsalted butter and semi-sweet chocolate chips together over a double boiler or in 30-second intervals in the microwave, stirring until smooth and combined.
Step 3
Remove the melted mixture from heat and whisk in the granulated sugar and brown sugar until fully incorporated.
Step 4
Add the eggs one at a time, whisking thoroughly after each addition. Then stir in the vanilla extract, orange blossom water, and orange zest.
Step 5
In a separate bowl, sift together the all-purpose flour, unsweetened cocoa powder, salt, and baking powder.
Step 6
Gradually fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture with a spatula until no streaks of flour remain. Be careful not to overmix.
Step 7
Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan, smoothing out the top with a spatula.
Step 8
Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with a few moist crumbs.
Step 9
Allow the brownies to cool completely in the pan before lifting them out using the parchment paper overhang. Cut into 12 squares or your desired serving size.
Step 10
Serve and enjoy the fragrant and fudgy Orange Blossom Brownies!
