Brownies mmmm that chocolatey deliciousness. Who doesn’t love a nice chocolate brownie for dessert? Oh, Heck anytime. What if I told you these brownies are deceptive brownies? They are full of veggie goodness and your family will never know! These brownies fool everyone. You won’t believe how yummy they are or how good they are for you. Just don’t serve them warm– it’s not until they are completely cooled that the spinach flavor disappears. Yes, I said spinach. these brownies are low in calories and saturated fat. They are also packed with 3 grams of fiber and 2 powerful antioxidants. (carrots and spinach)
