Chocolate Orange Brownies

Hello lovelies.

Here is the recipe I promised you earlier... chocolate orange brownies!!

Ingredients:

3/4 butter substitute

4 squares unsweetened chocolate

3/4 cup unsweetened applesauce

1 cup sugar

1 teaspoon orange extract

1 cup unbleached all-purpose flour

1 cup semisweet chocolate chips

powdered sugar

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

2. In a small saucepan, melt unsweetened chocolate squares and butter substitute. Remove from heat and allow to cool.

3. In a large mixing bowl, combine applesauce and sugar. Stir in melted chocolate mixture and orange extract. 

4. Mix in flour until just combined. 

5. Pour into a prepared 13 x 9 baking dish and sprinkle with the chocolate chips. Bake for 30 minutes.
6. Allow to cool. Slice into 12 squares and then cut each square in half diagonally. Dust with powdered sugar. Makes 24 brownies.

Enjoy! :) Let me know what you all think! They turned out pretty fudgey and delicious, and I even added 1 cup too little of sugar (it was supposed to be two cups!) Try it out!

Much love, 

mmmm. chocolate.

First order of business.

QUICK! Everyone click here right away and order some Nicobella Organic Truffles... they are half off! (only $6 instead of $12...a BARGAIN.) I've never tried these before, but I've really wanted to, except that $12 for 6 truffles is a bit pricey. Anywho... go buy some! This deal only lasts for one more day...

Scrumptious.

That aside, how is everyone tonight? I'm pretty ecstatic, because my first article was published today on Your Daily Vegan! Yay! Click the link to read my article on coconut oil vs. coconut butter!

I 'll also be a contributor for Done Vegan pretty soon when I publish something there as well! :) Oh happy day. 

Today I ran/walked a mile... my goal for the summer is to be able to run a mile without stopping. Sounds lame, I know, but I'm really not a runner. At all. So that's my goal. Right now the most I can run without stopping is about 1/4 mile. So hopefully I can achieve that goal!

Then.. tonight I made something super delicious. Something..chocolatey. With orange. and fudgey-ness. What could it be? ........

That's right folks: Chocolate Orange Brownies! Yummy! These really really pretty good; I took a non-vegan recipe and turned it vegan in a flash.... 

Recipe tomorrow :)

Have a wonderful night!

Much love,
