Author: Olivia Bennett

Ingredients

Scale

1 cup all-purpose flour
1/2 cup granulated sugar
1/4 cup unsalted butter, softened
2 large eggs
1/2 cup fresh orange juice (about 2 oranges)
zest of 1 large orange orange zest
1 tsp baking powder
1/4 tsp salt
powdered sugar for dusting (optional)

Instructions

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease or line a 9×9 inch baking dish with parchment paper.
In a mixing bowl, combine the flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, and salt. Mix well until combined.

In a separate bowl, whisk together the softened butter and eggs until smooth. Add the fresh orange juice and orange zest, mixing until incorporated.
Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, gently folding until just combined. Do not overmix.

Pour the batter into the prepared baking dish and spread it evenly.
Bake in the preheated oven for 25 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.

Remove from the oven and let cool in the pan for about 10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
Once cooled, cut into 12 bars. Dust with powdered sugar if desired before serving.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I use a different citrus fruit for this recipe?

Yes, you can substitute lemons or limes for the orange juice and zest. However, the unique flavor of this Orange Bars Recipe: TikTok Inspired Treats comes from fresh oranges, which provide a sweet and vibrant taste.

Why did my orange bars turn out too soft or runny?

A runny filling often means the bars were not baked long enough. Ensure the citrus curd layer is fully set and no longer jiggles in the center before removing it from the oven to achieve the perfect texture for your Orange Bars Recipe.

How should I store these orange bars, and how long do they last?

Store the bars in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days. For best results, place parchment paper between layers to prevent sticking and preserve the fresh flavor of your TikTok Inspired Treats.
