Brownies

from Jessica Seinfeld's Deceptively Delicious

3 oz. semisweet or bittersweet chocolate
1/2 c. carrot puree
1/2 c. spinach puree
1/2 c. firmly packed light or dark brown sugar
1/4 c. unsweetened cocoa powder
2 T. trans-fat-free soft tub margarine
2 tsp. pure vanilla extract
2 large egg whites
3/4 c. oat flour, or all-purpose flour
1/2 tsp. baking powder
1/2 tsp. salt

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 at 350 for 35 to 40 minutes. Cool completely in the pan before cutting into 12 bars.

Bonus: Each brownie has 3 grams of fiber!! My girls gobble these up.
