FUDGY CHOCOLATE-SPINACH BROWNIES
Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Butter an 8-inch square baking pan and dust it with the cocoa powder, tapping out the excess.
- Fill a medium saucepan 1/3 full of water and bring it to a boil over medium-high heat. Put the butter, chocolate and espresso powder in a heatproof bowl, set it on the saucepan and turn off the heat. Let the bowl stand for about 5 minutes until the chocolate mixture is melted. Stir together until very smooth. Stir in the sugar until dissolved. Remove the bowl from the saucepan; let cool to room temperature.
- Squeeze any excess moisture from the spinach and put it in a food processor. Add the vanilla and 1 tablespoon of water and puree until very smooth. Add the spinach puree and eggs to the cooled chocolate mixture and whisk until well combined.
- Whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, baking powder and salt in a medium bowl until combined. Add the wet ingredients to the dry and fold with a rubber spatula until combined. Add the chocolate chips and stir to combine. Pour the batter into the prepared pan; use an offset spatula to spread the batter evenly. Bake until set and a toothpick inserted in the center still has a few moist crumbs stuck to it, about 25 minutes.
- Cool the brownies completely in the pan before cutting.
SPINACH-CARROT BROWNIES
No one will be able to guess what healthy ingredient these brownies have in them! This recipe is from Parents magazine. I've made them a few times and my kids love them. I'd like to experiment and replace the vegetable oil with applesauce and see if it still turns out good. If you liked these, try my Spinach Brownie Bites Recipe #223677!

BROWNIES (WITH CARROT AND SPINACH)
Created by Jessica Seinfeld From the book Deceptively Delicious These brownies fool everyone! You won't believe how scrumptious they are (or how good they are for you) until you make them yourself. Just don't serve them warm-it's not until they're completely cool that the spinach flavor totally disappears.

SPINACH BROWNIES
Steps:
- puree spinach, appleasauce and carrot juice combine brownie mix, 3 eggs and puree stir till well blended spread in pan bake 40 minutes
Tips:
- Use fresh spinach: Fresh spinach has a better flavor and texture than frozen spinach. If you're using frozen spinach, be sure to thaw it and drain it thoroughly before using it.
- Don't overmix the batter: Overmixing the batter will make the brownies tough. Mix the batter just until the ingredients are combined.
- Use a greased and floured baking pan: This will help the brownies to come out of the pan easily.
- Bake the brownies until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with just a few moist crumbs attached: Overbaking will make the brownies dry.
- Let the brownies cool completely before cutting them: This will help to prevent them from crumbling.
Conclusion:
Spinach brownies are a delicious and healthy way to enjoy your favorite dessert. They're easy to make and can be customized to your liking. With these tips, you'll be able to make perfect spinach brownies every time.
