This week's Tuesdays with Dorie is Brownie Buttons chosen by Jayma of Two Scientists Experimenting in the Kitchen. Last week was the Banana Bundt cake chosen by Mary the Food Librarian. Last week we were on vacation, so I made the mini bundts on Friday since we were leaving on Saturday. And then I had to get everything ready and forgot to take pictures. So while there are no pictures, don't let that stop you from baking the bundt cake. It is a cross between banana bread and cake and is oh so delicious. We ate them as snacks and as breakfast. They were delish.
Unfortunately, when we got home I got bronchitis. I made the Brownie Buttons and I *think* I took pictures. But since I am alternating resting and coughing up my lungs, I will have to check my camera in the morning.
The funny thing about the Brownie Buttons was that they turned out REALLY orange flavored. I used the zest from about half an orange, so I guess my oranges were gigantic ones since the flavor was so prevalant. And that is really strange since usually when I do fruit things for Dorie recipes, I usually need way more that what she used. Tim and TJ didn't like them because they were too orangey, but Gabby and I love them. Next time I make these, I will probably use either no orange or way less orange.

I doubled the recipe and ended up using the zest of 1 good sized orange. I didn't think the orange was over powering, I liked the addition of that taste to the chocolate. Hope you're feeling better!
Hope you feel better soon.
I didn't use orange and thought they were delicious. I hope you are feeling better!
Love orange and chocolate together. Cute!
