Jessica Seinfelds Magic Brownies Recipe

Jessica Seinfelds Magic Brownies

From lor 16 years ago

This recipe is from Jessica Seinfeld's new cookbook, Deceptively Delicious. She has labeled it a "healthy Brownie."

nonstick cooking spray shopping list
3 ounces semisweet or bittersweet chocolate shopping list
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) shopping list
1/2 cup spinach puree (Steam for 30 to seconds, then puree in a food processor for 2 minutes) shopping list
1/2 cup firmly packed light or dark brown sugar shopping list
1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder shopping list
2 tablespoons trans-fat-free soft tub margarine spread shopping list
2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract shopping list
2 large egg whites shopping list
3/4 cup oat flour, or all-purpose flour shopping list
1/2 teaspoon baking powder shopping list
1/2 teaspoon salt shopping list

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.

Hey Lor, I just noticed this recipe that you had posted. It sure is different and leave it to Jessica Seinfeld. I don't know if Jett is kidding or what, cause I can't imagine collards in my brownies LOL The thought of adding collards is turning my face a weird shade of green and my stomach feels like I'm on the high seas.
HIGH 5 Lor and very interesting slant on brownies.
