Author Notes

When it comes to the “Salted-Cashew Orange-Cranberry Brownies”, I cannot find enough words how awesome they are. Flavors of chocolate, honey, and coconut mixed with the fresh and fruity aroma of oranges and cranberries, topped by bites of salted cashews. Simple to make, really, but I was blown away. You will be, too! —Florian @ Contentedness Cooking

one other question - when you say 3 pieces of orange, juiced - do you mean 3 whole oranges?

For sure that means the juice of 3 whole tree oranges.

No "tree", of course...

does it need to be spelt flour? would all-purpose work just as well? And presumably almonds/almond butter would also work?

Hi Anna,
of course, you can use any flour you like. I guess almonds and almond butter should also work well - I have not tried this though. But I'm curious how that will taste, so if you try, let me know!
