Ingredients

• 1 cup Dark chocolate chips
• 0.5 cup Unsalted butter
• 0.5 cup Pureed spinach
• 0.5 cup Pureed carrot
• 1 cup Granulated sugar
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 2 Eggs
• 0.5 cup Whole-wheat pastry flour
• 0.25 cup Cocoa powder
• 0.5 teaspoon Baking soda
• 0.25 teaspoon Salt

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease an 8x8-inch baking pan or line it with parchment paper.

Step 2

Melt the dark chocolate chips and unsalted butter together in a microwave-safe bowl in 20-second increments, stirring between each, until smooth. Let the mixture cool slightly.

Step 3

Stir in the pureed spinach and pureed carrot until well combined.

Step 4

Add the granulated sugar and vanilla extract to the mixture, stirring until smooth.

Step 5

Beat the eggs into the wet mixture, one at a time, ensuring each is fully incorporated before adding the next.

Step 6

In a separate bowl, whisk together the whole-wheat pastry flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt.

Step 7

Gradually fold the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.

Step 8

Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan, spreading it evenly with a spatula.

Step 9

Bake the brownies in the preheated oven for 25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with a few moist crumbs.

Step 10

Allow the brownies to cool completely in the pan before slicing into squares and serving.

Step 11

Store any leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days, or freeze for longer storage.
