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. For another great orange and chocolate recipe, be sure to try my Mini Jaffa Cakes.
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.

Any chance you could substitute the orange juice for milk? Or another flavour/liquid? Would love to make these without the orange flavour 🙂

I haven't tried that but it should work. Let me know how you get on.
Megan says

Kirsty says
Super quick, easy and full of jaffa-ry deliciousness. I added more choc but otherwise made it as per recipe and it was perfect. The cook time of 22 mins was spot on. This one is definitely a keeper Vanya. Thank you! 😀
VJ cooks says
That's awesome to hear. Thanks for the feedback, Kirsty.
Hema says
Thank you so much for the recipe. I doubled the recipe and divided it into two pans: one for a potluck and one for us, and I am so happy that I did it. It was so flavorful and your recipe is perfect. I just doubled the orange extract as we love orange flavor. Will definitely make them again. Thanks again.

Oh I love that, thanks for the feedback Hema!
