Orange Blondie with Dark Chocolate Chips

If you love the combination of chocolate and orange you'll love these blondies.  Perfectly soft & moist, they won't last long.

These Orange Blondies with Dark Chocolate Chips are so tasty and so easy to make. After the success of my lemon blondies I thought it was time to create a new recipe based on the same idea. I was given some lovely juicy oranges from my sister's tree so whipped up this delicious batch.

How to make orange and dark chocolate chip blondies:

First of all melt the butter in a large microwave safe bowl. Stir in the brown sugar, eggs, orange zest and juice then mix it all together. Sift in the flour and baking powder then add the dark chocolate chips. Mix it all together and pour into a lined baking tray. Scatter extra chocolate chips over the top.

Bake until the blondie is turning golden on the outside but still a little bit soft in the centre. Let it cool in the tin then sprinkle over icing sugar and serve. These blondies will last for up to 3 days in an airtight container in the pantry. If you prefer white or milk chocolate chips you could use them instead. 

My husband Mike said this is one of his favourite recipes that I have created and my kids love it too. 

This baked slice is so delicious because of how soft and moist the centre is. If you like that kind of texture, be sure to check out my recipes for Lemon and White Chocolate Blondie, Chocolate and Raspberry Skillet Brownie as well as my epic Chocolate Caramel Brownie.
