this recipe was given to me by a co-worker, so I thought i would share it with all of you

Yilds: 18 brownies

Ingredients:
1 box reduced fat brownie Mix
10 oz frozen spinach
1 cup cooked carrots
3 eggs
1/4 cup canola oil

Directions: In food processor or blender, combine spincah (thawed) and carrots (cooked or canned) Process until smooth.
In a large bowl combine brownie mix, pureed vegetables, eggs, and canola oil
Pour brownie mix into baking pan and bake at 350 degrees F for about 30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center is pulled out clean.(cooking times will vary based on brownie mix, altitude, and oven)

Nutrition facts:
176 calories, 3.5 gm protein, 28gm carbohydrate, 1.6 gm fiber, 6.4 gm fat with < 1 gm saturated, 143 mg sodium

These brownies will provide nearly 2/3rds of your vitamin A needs for the day thanks to the spinach and carrots.


End of recipe lol........here's a couple side notes from me..........you can use egg substitute for even lower calories and extra virgin olive oil......both are better for your heart. *key note* if you are making these for children........don't let them see the ingredients and they will looooooooove them, these are really super moist brownies and they taste great!

If you try it lemme know what ya think!cheers

Gramma's neighbor used to use tomatoes & applesauce in her brownies to cut back on the use of oil.
The darned things were actually pretty good.
