INGREDIENTS:
1/2 cup pureed spinach
1 cup pureed carrots
1/2 cup melted butter
2 cups white sugar
1 tablespoon vanilla extract
4 eggs
1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
1 teaspoon salt
1 cup semisweet chocolate chips
DIRECTIONS:
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Line a 9x13 baking dish with aluminum foil and spray with non-stick cooking spray (for easy clean up).
Combine the veggie purees, melted butter, sugar, and vanilla in a large bowl. Beat in the eggs, one at a time, mixing well after each addition.
Sift together the flour, cocoa powder, and salt. Gradually stir the flour mixture into the chocolate mixture until blended. Pour half of the batter evenly into the prepared baking dish. Spread the chocolate chips evenly to form a layer over the batter. Pour the rest of the batter over the chocolate chips.
Bake in preheated oven about 35 minutes. Allow to cool completely before serving.
I'm not claiming these are the healthiest brownies, obviously with all the sugar, but they are perfect to use in a brownie sundae bowl, with vanilla ice cream, or just with a big glass of milk. And at least you can feel good knowing there's a good dose of vitamins tucked discreetly inside. They're a perfect fix for those serious chocolate cravings. These are fudgy, rich and I promise you won't even know the veggies are in there, which is awesome for the kids!

Oooh, these sound soo good! I may have to try this recipe this weekend!
Sounds great. I love to hide veggies and beans in our food. Can't wait to try.
Is this your recipe? Have you ever seen the deceptively delicious cook book written by Seinfeld's wife. She throws in all kinds of sneaky veggies in everything. They sure look good, I will have to try this. Anything green I can get into my son I will take.
Jennifer-I got that book as soon as it was released. I've used most of the recipes in there, but I've modified the ones I use the most to suit my kids. It works great. They never know what's in there...:)
