I'm with you I think puree is the way yo go. I want a broco-brownie intern. Like Nicole, I've gone the black bean route. Love getting an actual veg in and GF, do you think my family would make these for Valentines Day, I don't love baking.

Wow! SO cool! They look super dark and fudgey! I use applesauce and pumpkin frequently too, and Greek yogurt! And I've used prune puree as a fat and sweetener replacement in brownies, with surprisingly good results...

that's a really really creative way to make brownies! I think cauliflower puree would work too! That's wonderful way to incorporate more veggies and make the dessert a little more healthy! Love it!

hahaha i can't BELIEVE there are such things as broccoli brownies. i mean i guess i could imagine serving them to kids as a sneaky way to squeeze in brox but still like i'll have a bowl of broccoli and a regular brownie. although i am intrigued to make these and serve them to my brother without telling him hahaa

Wow! I use pumpkin often but broccoli is pretty cool! Definitely the puree though, I don't want full chunks of broccoli in my brownies!

This is so cool Gina! I loooooove sneaking in veggies any way I can. Think the hubs would notice?

I'm a fan of adding bean purées, pumpkin/sweet potato and applesauce in, but never have I thought about broccoli purée. So cool.

Whoa, this is interesting.
I don't try and replace the fat in baked goods, but I'm more of a lower carb person---I'd rather sub out the sugar for something better.

2012-01-27T12:18:21.075-05:00

Wow-- I've heard of pumpkin, applesauce, and even black beans as subs, but broccoli?? That's a new one! They do look delicious and fudgey though!

not sure I would like the broccoli chunks either lol! Puree -- maybe. They look good!
Loved the FODMAP interview today on Laurens blog... planning to read more about that soon!

You have my curiosity and now I HAVE to try this! My kids will be my guinea pigs of course :-) I remember making fudge with pureed prunes many years ago, and it turned out to be really good. Fun to read your FODMAPs "interview" on Food trainers today!

2012-01-27T09:31:51.129-05:00

Wow broccoli brownies? Crazy! I'd love to try that. I've made brownies using pumpkin as the fat replacement before. Oh, and I suppose I've made black bean brownies...those didn't turn out so well.

2012-01-27T09:13:00.601-05:00

I've been off the posting/reading habit because of applications to schools... and prepping for knee surgery!

What a great idea! Broccoli Brownies. Wow. I will have to try this recipe because it looks easy enough with few ingredients!

C is still passing, haha.

I love me some oat flour.

Happy Friday to you!

This sounds . . . umm . . . interesting?
It must be one of those things you have to try first.

How do you feel about the whole concept of hiding veggies in other foods to get your kids to eat it?

2012-01-27T08:33:55.201-05:00

Wow, those look great! Broccoli, who knew? I use pumpkin all the time because the texture comes out so great. I actually just made brownies with it last week.

wow! this is so creative! they look delicious!

I have made the black bean brownie nicole mentions...I HAVE to make this!! This weekend is my plan!!! LOVE IT...gotta love the interns and their fresh ideas!

2012-01-27T06:54:34.829-05:00

Whoa! Broccoli!? I've heard of black beans, but never broccoli. Interesting! I love cauliflower puree in place of mashed potatoes and I sub in applesauce for oil/butter all the time. I'm posting a recipe in a minute that uses zucchini and squash in place of lasagna noodles and it actually worked really, really well!

Have a great weekend, Gina! Excited to see you guys next Saturday :)
