Blood Orange Olive Oil Brownies
4 oz. unsweetened chocolate
1 oz. bittersweet chocolate
1 c. all-purpose flour
1 t. baking powder
3/4 t. salt
2 c. white sugar
1/2 c. butter
1/4 c. The Tasteful Olive Blood Orange infused olive oil
1/4 c. The Tasteful Olive Butter infused olive oil
4 large eggs
1 T. vanilla extract
1 c. walnuts, coarsely crushed (optional)
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Butter a 13X9 baking dish. On low heat, melt chocolate in sauce pan, stirring constantly. Set aside to cool. In separate bowl, sift flour, baking powder and salt, then add the sugar. Melt the butter, place in another bowl and add the olive oil, then incorporate one egg at a time into this mixture. Add in vanilla and then the melted chocolate. Fold in the dry ingredients and walnuts (if using), but don't overmix the batter. Pour mixture into the pan, smoothing off the top. Bake for 25-30 minutes until brownies pull away from the side of the pan. Let the brownies cool before cutting.
