Blood Orange Olive Oil Brownies

Ingredients:

1/4 cup Fresh Harvest Blood Orange Fused Olive Oil
1 cup white sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 eggs
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
1/3 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
1/4 teaspoon baking powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup chopped walnuts (optional)

Directions:

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease a 9×9 inch baking pan.

In a medium bowl, mix together the blood orange infused olive oil, sugar, and vanilla. Beat in eggs. Combine flour, cocoa, baking powder, and salt; gradually stir into the egg mixture until well blended. Stir in walnuts, if desired. Spread the batter evenly into the prepared pan.

Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the brownie begins to pull away from edges of pan and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out mostly smooth (no batter). Let cool on a wire rack before cutting into squares.
