Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Vegetable oil
- 1 cup Pureed spinach
- 0.5 cup Pureed carrot
- 1 cup Brown sugar
- 0.5 cup Unsweetened cocoa powder
- 0.5 cup Whole wheat flour
- 0.25 cup All-purpose flour
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Baking soda
- 2 large Egg whites
- 2 teaspoons Vanilla extract
- 0.5 cup Semisweet chocolate chips
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease an 8x8-inch baking pan or line it with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the vegetable oil, pureed spinach, pureed carrot, brown sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth.
In another bowl, sift together the cocoa powder, whole wheat flour, all-purpose flour, salt, and baking soda.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, stirring until well combined.
In a separate small bowl, beat the egg whites until frothy using a whisk or a fork. Then gently fold the egg whites into the brownie batter.
Stir in the semisweet chocolate chips until evenly distributed in the batter.
Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan and smooth the top with a spatula.
Bake in the preheated oven for 35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with a few moist crumbs (but not wet batter).
Remove the brownies from the oven and let them cool completely in the pan before cutting into 12 squares.
Serve and enjoy these sneaky, nutrient-rich brownies!
