Organic Orange Dessert Bars
We all know and love lemon bars, so why not make orange bars using Uncle Matt’s Organic Orange Juice? They’re totally worth it! Made with clean organic ingredients combined with orange zest, our OJ and topped with powdered sugar, what’s not to love?
Ingredients:
Crust:
- 1 cup organic unsalted butter
- 2 cups all purpose organic flour
- 1/2 cup granulated organic cane sugar
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
Filling:
- 1/2 cup Uncle Matt’s Organic Orange Juice
- 1 teaspoon organic orange zest
- 1 1/2 cups granulated organic sugar
- 1/4 cup all purpose organic flour
- 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
- 4 large organic eggs
- Powdered sugar, for dusting
Directions:
- Preheat oven to 350F. Line a 9×13” pan with foil or parchment paper and spray with nonstick cooking spray (preferably organic).
- Beat butter with a hand or a stand mixer until creamy, then add the flour, sugar, and salt and beat until a dough forms. (If you’re using a hand mixer it will take extra time.) Press the crust into the bottom of the prepared pan. Bake for 18 minutes.
- A few minutes before the crust comes out of the oven, prepare the filling. Place all filling ingredients into a blender jar and blend until smooth, a few seconds to almost a minute, depending on your blender.
- Carefully pour filling over evenly over hot crust. Return to oven and bake until the top is no longer jiggly, about 20-23 minutes. Cool completely before dusting with powdered sugar and slicing into bars.
