This is the time of the year where diets fly out the window. Who said you had to feel bad about indulging though? Life can be hectic, treat yourself to some special brownies! Not THAT kind though… These brownies are not only delicious but a little more nutritious than usual, all thanks to the secret ingredient, SPINACH! I know, it sounds weird, but you’d never know it was in there, I promise! Get ready to trick your kids, and other picky eaters, into eating their greens!

These brownies are incredibly easy to make. First, start by preheating your oven! Now, grab a large bowl and mix all of your dry ingredients together. Next, put all of your wet ingredients into a blender. This is super important because you don’t want full spinach leaves chilling out in your brownies. That would be weird. Once your wet mixture is blended, pour it into the dry mixture and fold them together. Pour your batter into your pan and bake! It’s that simple!
Brownie Tip
These brownies are a very gooey texture, which makes them very tricky to cut and serve. Once they’ve cooled, pop them into the freezer for 5-10 minutes. They’ll harden up and be easier to cut. Serve them on their own, top them with powdered sugar, or serve them with your favourite ice cream!
