I don't think I have ever had this kind of a brownie before and I am curious to try it, so DH said he will make them for us.
Chocolate-Orange Brownies
1/2 cup boiling water
6 TB. natural unsweetened cocoa powder
1 1/4 cups packed dark brown sugar
3/4 cups all purpose flour
1/2 tsp. baking soda
1/2 tsp. baking powder
1/4 tsp. salt
1 cup pecans, toasted, chopped
2 large eggs
10 TB. (1 1/4 stick) unsalted butter, melted, cooled
1 TB. finely grated orange peel
1/2 tsp. vanilla extract
1. Preheat oven to 350F. Spray a 9x9x2" metal baking pan with nonstick spray. Whisk 1/2 cup boiling water and cocoa powder in small bowl to blend. Whisk sugar, flour, baking soda, baking powder and salt in medium bowl to blend. Stir in pecans. Whisk eggs in large bowl. Add butter, orange peel and vanilla; whisk to blend. Whisk cocoa mixture into egg mixture. Add flour mixture; stir just to blend. Transfer to prepared pan.
2. Bake brownies until tester inserted into center comes out with a few moist crumbs attached, about 30 minutes. Let cool completely in pan on rack. Cut into 16 squares and serve. Adapted from Homepage Cafe.
