A friend of mine shared this incredibly sneaky brownie treat. She found it in the Deceptively Delicious
cookbook. And I tell you I was intrigued and quickly whipped this up to see if in fact I could sneak veggies in with dessert! And YES I can! It is divine! My whole family loved it and this will be a regular in our household.

How did you make spinach and carrot brownies look good?
ReplyDeleteI am impressed!
Yes! Thank you! Now I can have the recipe without buying the book. And, you know what, "they" really need to make Easy Mac cups with hidden veggies in the sauce too!
ReplyDeleteI have heard of this...you really can't taste the veggies? My hubby and kids would probably freak if I tried it (doesn't mean I won't LOL).
