My favorite gluten & dairy-free brownie recipe brings a burst of orange and a hint of heat when a little cayenne pepper is added to spring these brownies to life!

Ingredients

  • 1/3 cup oil (I used avocado but olive oil is fine)
  • 2 Large eggs (cage-free/room temp)
  • 1 cup sugar
  • 1 Large juice of orange
  • 2 tablespoons orange zest
  • 1/3 cup cocoa powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon pure orange extract
  • 1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper (1/4 tsp if you don't want it too spicy)
  • 1/2 cup white rice flour (extra fine)
  • 1/3 cup potato starch
  • 1/4 cup tapioca starch
  • 1 cup mini semi-sweet chocolate chips

Directions

Step 1
Together in a mixing bowl add oil, eggs, sugar, cocoa powder, juice of orange, orange zest and orange extract. Mix for 2 minutes.
Step 2
Add rice flour, potato & tapioca starch, and cayenne pepper. Mix until fully incorporated.
Step 3
Pour in 1 cup mini chocolate chips and fold in with a spatula.
Step 4
Place brownie batter in a 7x11" glass pyrex dish that has been pre-covered in non-stick spray.
Step 5
Bake in a 325 degree oven for 30 minutes. Do not over bake. Brownies will continue to bake slightly while cooling.
