These decadent, fudgy brownies combine the rich, bold flavour of Espresso Infused Dark Balsamic with the bright, zesty twist of Orange Fused Olive Oil. The blend of coffee and citrus enhances the chocolate's natural bitterness, creating a unique and sophisticated dessert perfect for any occasion.

Ingredients

¼ cup Orange Fused Olive Oil
1 tbsp Espresso Infused Dark Balsamic Vinegar
1 cup granulated sugar
¾ cup all-purpose flour
½ cup unsweetened cocoa powder
½ tsp baking powder
¼ tsp salt
2 large eggs
1 tsp vanilla extract
2 tbsp Greek yogurt or unsweetened applesauce (for added moisture)
½ cup dark chocolate chips (optional)

Directions

Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line an 8x8-inch baking pan with parchment paper, leaving an overhang for easy removal.
Mix Dry Ingredients: In a medium bowl, sift together the flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.
Combine Wet Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk the Orange Fused Olive Oil, Nespresso Balsamic, sugar, Greek yogurt (or applesauce), eggs, and vanilla extract until smooth and well combined.
Incorporate Dry Ingredients: Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring until just combined. Avoid overmixing.
Add Chocolate Chips (Optional): If using, fold the dark chocolate chips into the batter.
Pour & Bake: Pour the brownie batter into the prepared baking pan, spreading it evenly. Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the centre comes out with moist crumbs.
Cool & Serve: Let the brownies cool completely in the pan before lifting them out with the parchment paper. Cut into 12 squares and enjoy!
