. Sneaky Brownies

100g organic dark chocolate
½ cup cooked pureed carrot or pumpkin
½ cup cooked pureed spinach
1/3 cup raw or brown sugar
¼ cup cacao
40g block butter
2 teaspoons vanilla essence
2 free range egg whites
¾ cup wholemeal flour
½ teaspoon baking powder

What to do
Preheat oven to 180c.
Line a square baking tray with baking paper.
Melt chocolate. In a large bowl combine the melted chocolate, purees, sugar, cacao, butter and vanilla.
Mix until smooth and creamy.
Whisk in egg whites.
Stir in flour and baking powder.
Pour mixture into prepared tray and bake for 35 to 40 minutes or until cooked through.
Allow to completely cool in the pan before cutting into squares.
Enjoy!

Note – The brownies need to be completely cooled before eating so there is no taste of vegetables. I actually will use any veggie puree that I have on hand, such as cauliflower, carrot, spinach, pumpkin and broccoli. I’ve added chia seeds too and LSA, though just be aware of any policies at nut free schools when using LSA.
