1 large orange, zested
1 cup all-purpose flour
ΒΌ cup cocoa powder

Tips:

  • Use high-quality dark chocolate. This will ensure that your brownies have a rich, decadent flavor.
  • Don't overmix the batter. Overmixing can make the brownies tough. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Bake the brownies until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with just a few moist crumbs attached. Overbaking will dry out the brownies.
  • Let the brownies cool completely before cutting them. This will help them to hold their shape.
  • Store the brownies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days. You can also freeze the brownies for up to 2 months.

Conclusion:
