Ingredients
 

Main Ingredients

  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 0.5 cup butter, melted Make sure to let it cool slightly before mixing.
  • 3 large eggs Fresh eggs work best!
  • 0.5 cup fresh orange juice Use freshly squeezed for the best flavor.
  • 1 tbsp orange zest This adds extra zing!
  • 0.5 tsp baking powder

Instructions

Preparation Steps

  • Start by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9x13 inch baking dish and set it aside. In a mixing bowl, combine the melted butter and sugar until well blended. Add in the eggs one at a time, mixing thoroughly after each addition.
  • Next, stir in the fresh orange juice and zest. In another bowl, whisk together the flour and baking powder, then gradually add this mixture to the wet ingredients. Stir until just combined, being careful not to overmix.
  • Pour the batter into the prepared baking dish and smooth the top with a spatula. Bake in the preheated oven for about 25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
  • Once baked, let the bars cool in the pan before slicing them into squares. Enjoy your delightful orange bars with family and friends!

Notes

These bars are best enjoyed fresh, but they can also be stored in an airtight container for a few days — if they last that long!
