Orange. Cherry. Nut. Brownies.

For those of you who are my facebook friends you may have noticed my recent {slightly obsessed} updates about orange cherry brownies. Well, here is the recipe. And you can decide for yourselves whether or not they are worth obsessing about. Personally I get pretty bored with plain brownies, so this mixes it up a little for me. 

Orange, Cherry Brownies

Borrowed and Enjoyed From: The Katie Brown Workshop

Ingredients:

1 Box Mix of Brownies (non- peanut butter etc)

OR

Your favorite home-made brownie batter

The Zest of 1 orange

The Juice of 1/2 orange

1/2 cup cherry pie filling ( I like to use more!)

1 Cup walnuts roughly chopped (optional) 

1) Preheat Oven to 350 degrees. Spray a 9 X 13 baking pan with non-stick cooking spray. 

2) Mix up the brownie mix or your homemade brownie mix according to the box or recipe. Stir in the orange juice and orange zest. Mix well. Mix in the walnuts (optional).

3) Pour the brownie batter into the prepared baking pan. Swirl in cherries using a knife to distribute them evenly (for smaller cherry chunks, roughly chop first, I like the whole cherry pieces). 

4) Bake for about 35 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean.

Enjoy!

These brownies are flavorful, moist and slightly cakey. The perfect brownie for me! 

What is your favorite way to spice up a pan of brownies?
