Mother's Day Special - Fudgy Egg-less Orange Brownies <3

My YouTube feed these days is filled with recipe video recommendations! This sometimes is super inspiring but also triggers sudden cravings for me! One such video I watched was of some super gooey and fudgy egg-less brownies that looked so tempting! 🥴

I checked out the recipe and it looked pretty simple! But when I opened my supposedly well stocked pantry, I was missing two core ingredients- cooking chocolate and applesauce! I decided to experiment with whatever I had! So instead of applesauce, I made an orange reduction and used cocoa in the place of cooking chocolate! 🧡 I loved the results and I’m so excited to share this recipe with y’all! 🤩 From my Kitchen Today, Fudgy Eggless Orange Brownies! 🤎🧡🤎 #FromMyKitchenToday #EgglessOrangeBrownies #FudgyBrownies #EgglessBrownies #OrangeBrownies #TastyBrownies #GooeyBrownies #ChocolateOrange #Orangeandchocolate #ChocolateBrownies #Experiment #KitchenExperiments #EgglessRecipes #EgglessDesserts #FruitCake #Orange #Chocolate #EgglessChocolateBrownies #Loveforcooking #BayAreaLife #HomeChef #IndianFoodBlog #FoodBlog #Foodstagram #HappyMothersDay

3. After about 18-20 mins, this will have a sauce like consistency at which stage, add in the sugar and mix continuously until the sugar dissolves completely

4. Remove the orange reduction from heat, set aside and allow it to cool slightly

5. In a microwave safe bowl (or a double boiler) melt the butter along with cocoa powder to form a smooth silky mixture

7. Sift in the flour along with baking powder and baking soda into the chocolate mixture. This will form a thick brownie batter

8. In a greased baking tin, 8” preferably, pour the batter and level it
