i've been trying to make new foods that incorporate veggies. tonight i tried brownies with a combo of carrots and spinach. it doesn't sound great, but i figured i could try anything once. and they were quite tasty.

i believe this is one of jessica seinfeld's recipes.

ingredients
3 oz semisweet or bittersweet chocolate. i didn't measure this exactly...but i used a little more than a 1/4 of a bag.
1/2 cup carrot puree
1/2 cup spinach puree
1/2 cup firmly packed brown sugar
1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
2 tbsp. trans-fat-free butter
2 tsp. pure vanilla extract
2 large egg whites
3/4 cup all purpose flour
1/2 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp salt

Preheat the over to 350 degrees. Coat 8x8 baking pan with cooking spray.

Melt the butter and chocolate over a low flame.

In a large bowl, combine the melted chocolate, vegetable purees (make sure these are really, really puree'd), sugar, cocoa powder, and vanilla. whisk until smooth and creamy.

Whisk in egg whites. Stir in flour, baking powder, and salt.

Bake 35 minutes and let cool.
