Vegetables in a Brownie?
Ooooh yes! I know at first glance this may sound strange but trust me, once you’ve tried it, you’ll be convinced. Juicy, chocolatey, healthy and delicious? You say this is too good to be true? I’ll prove you wrong.
This healthy chocolate brownie recipe is perfect if you’re a little chocolate tiger, but still care about healthy eating. It’s also perfect for kids (or adults) who aren’t necessarily the biggest fans of vegetables, to feed them a secret serving of zucchini. Because I can promise you, no one would ever notice that this dough is largely made of vegetables. In my opinion, one of the best brownie recipes ever. Fluffy, refined sugar free, vegan, moist and this deep dark chocolate taste … heaven!

Want to add some more micronutrients and vitamins to your cake?
Bring 300 g frozen berries to the boil and puree them. Depending on your taste you can either sift out the berry seeds or leave them in the sauce. Add one or two packs of vanilla sugar and let it cool down a bit. Pour the berry sauce on the cake and you are finished with your delious, yummy, fluffy and moist healthy brownie.
