Darn delicious gluten-free marbled orange brownies that are fudgy with a mild orange flavor. They are addictive and can be served for breakfast too! Who wouldn’t like to have brownies for breakfast?

Howdy!!! Christmas will be here in just a few days and I’m still running around trying to finish preparing and delivering all of the presents… Phew!!!

Well, since we can’t forget all our gluten-free friends, let’s whip up a batch of these fudgylicious gluten-free marbled orange brownies (made from OATS, with contrasting textures and a hint of orange) to give away as holiday food presents.

There is only one problem: Don’t love them so much that you eat them all — like I did! 🙂

Although I’m not gluten-intolerant, I devoured them quick, enjoying every bite. This is definitely one of those GF treats that doesn’t taste like CARDBOARD. 🙂

I don’t know what it is, but I found them comforting and addictive. There is something about oats, chocolate, and a hint of citrus from the orange, combined with the fudgy texture, that make me crave these orange brownies.

Since I cannot make anything without sampling it, my strategy will be to double the batch next time: one for me and the other for my friends…

The best way to make everyone happy, don’t you think? They are mildly sweet, making them ideal not as a dessert, but even as a breakfast treat.

Enjoy our orange brownies and catch a glimpse of your friends’ smile. I hope you have enjoyed all our presents from the kitchen this month!!!

Thank you for your love and support for almost 3 years — one of the best presents that this gal could ever have.

Wishing your and your family a very, very MERRY CHRISTMAS!

Ingredients

  • For the brownie batter:
  • 2 cups oat flour
  • 3/4 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1/2 cup plus 1 tablespoon of extra virgin olive oil
  • 1-1/2 cups white granulated sugar
  • 3 large eggs at room temperature
  • 1 teaspoon orange extract
  • 2 tablespoons freshly squeezed orange juice
  • Zest of 2 large navel oranges
  • 1 cup semisweet chocolate chips or chunks
  • For the Sour Cream Swirl:
  • 1/2 cup full fat sour cream
  • 2 tablespoons white granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon fresh orange zest
  • For Garnishing: optional
  • Extra-Virgin Olive Oil for drizzling EVOO
  • 2 large oranges
  • granulated sugar

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
  • Line an 8×8-inch baking pan with aluminum foil (both bottom and sides) and grease with olive oil no-stick cooking spray. Set aside.
  • In a medium bowl, combine together oat flour, baking soda, and salt. Reserve.
  • To prepare the marbled orange brownies: In a mixer with the paddle attachment, beat the cocoa powder with olive oil at low speed until mixed.
  • Then, beat in the sugar. Add eggs, one at a time, beating after each addition just until combined.
  • Add the reserved dry ingredients (flour, baking soda, and salt) and beat at low speed just until well combined.
  • Stir in the orange extract, juice, and zest. Then, fold in chocolate chips or chunks. Spread brownie batter into the prepared pan.
  • To prepare the sour cream swirl: Stir together sour cream, sugar, and orange zest in a small bowl and then dollop in several spots over the surface of brownie batter.
  • Use the blunt edge of a knife to swirl it in, so as to create a marbled effect. Do not overmix!
  • Bake for approximately 30-38 minutes or until center is set. Remove pan from the oven and let cool on a rack.
  • Cover and refrigerate for at least 3 hours. Using the edges of the foil, lift uncut brownie out of pan.
  • Using a large, sharp knife, cut into 9 equal-sized orange brownies, wiping clean after each cut.
  • Serve either chilled or bring to room temperature before serving.
  • Right before serving, garnish top of orange brownies with a thin drizzle of EVOO and orange curls. If you are giving them away, skip the drizzle of EVOO.
  • NOTEhttps://www.easyanddelish.com/wp-admin/post.php?post=9865&action=edit#: To make the orange curls, use a lemon zester tool to take the zest off of the oranges (thin, long strips). Toss the orange strips with granulated sugar in a ramekin and curl them.

Recipe Notes

STORAGE: Store sliced, ungarnished orange brownies in a clean, airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days.

    Time to time I try to bake something gluten free, not because my family can’t eat gluten, it’s just because I have some readers that ask for. Your brownies are incredible!!!

      Thanks, Nydia! Yes, I have some gluten intolerant readers that will appreciate these brownies. I am not gluten intolerant but I loved these brownies. To say the truth, If I hadn’t made them, I couldn’t say that they are gluten-free only by tasting them. They taste like regular brownies.

    Lovely brownies! I agree – it’s so hard to find a gluten free dessert that tastes good. Your brownies look soft and moist and very chocolaty – just like real ones!

    Yummy! Very interesting that you’re mixing olive oil and cocoa instead of the classic butter-cocoa mixture! And a lot healthier in terms of fat.
    Thank you for another wonderful, delicious sweetness!:)
