Ingredients:
- nonstick cooking spray
- 1/2 cup carrot puree (after peeling and trimming the ends , steam for 10-12 minutes and then puree in a food processor for 2 minutes)
- 2 tbsp trans-fat-free soft tub margarine spread
Directions:
- Preheat the oven to 350°F.
- Coat an 8x8-inch baking pan with cooking spray.
- Melt the chocolate in a double boiler or over a very low flame.
- In a large bowl, combine the melted chocolate, vegetable purees, sugar, cocoa powder, margarine, and vanilla, and whisk until smooth and creamy, 1 to 2 minutes.
- Whisk in egg whites.
- Stir in the flour, baking powder, and salt with a wooden spoon.
- Pour the batter into the pan and bake 35 to 40 minutes.
- Cool completely in the pan before cutting into 12 bars.
- Note from Jessica Seinfeld:
- These brownies fool everyone! You won't believe how scrumptious they are (or how good they are for you) until you make them yourself. Just don't serve them warm - it's not until they're completely cool that the spinach flavour totally disappears.
- They are low in calories (only 133 per brownie) and saturated fat. They're also packed with 3 grams of fiber (which is just crazy for a brownie!), while spinach and carrots provide two powerful antioxidants that help your kids' eyes stay healthy.
