(brownies: adapted recipe from Deceptively Delicious by: Jessica Seinfeld)

• 3 oz bittersweet chocolate (i used the baking chocolate above)
• 1/2 cup carrot puree
• 1/2 cup spinach puree
• 1/2 cup brown sugar
• 1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
• 2 tablespoons coconut oil
• 2 large egg whites
• 3/4 cup flour
• 1/2 tsp baking powder
• 1/2 tsp sea salt

Melt your chocolate in a double broiler

In a mixer

add the melted chocolate

vegetable purees

brown sugar

cocoa powder

coconut oil

vanilla

Mix until smooth 

 add in egg whites

In a bowl

mix the flour

baking powder

sea salt

slowly add the flour mixture in your mixing bowl. Stir just enough to mix.

Pour into an 8x8 pan and cook for about 35 minutes at 350.

Let them cool completely before serving or you can still taste a hint of some veggies.

So here's the deal. Are these the best brownies ever? Well no, of course not. But they are really good considering they have vegetables in them. And they are actually good for you. And paired with this ice cream (recipe below), mercy. This ice cream. It is so good. Rich, dairy free deliciousness. And incredibly easy.
