A delicious cauliflower brownie so fudgy, made in one bowl, and full of antioxidants, vitamins, fiber and even detox essentials.

This incredible fudge brownie recipe is deeply chocolatey in flavor, and yet so full of nutrition you will be looking over your shoulder to see who is trying to trick you. Veggies in desserts work, providing structure and moistness, as well as nutrition. I myself on this very blog have recipes for sweet potato brownies and pumpkin brownies.

Ingredients

Cauliflower. You need a puree made from blended steamed cauliflower.

Cocoa powder. Use unsweetened, either regular or dutch processed.

Flour. I used all purpose flour or gluten free baking flour. I don't think almond flour would work as it is too high in fat.

Cane sugar. Organic cane sugar tastes best.

Dairy free milk. I used almond milk but any high fat dairy-free milk works.

Chocolate chips. Melt these and swirl them into the batter for some extra chocolate.

Leaveners & Flavors. baking powder, vanilla, salt

Steps to Make

1.Line a loaf pan with parchment paper. Preheat oven to 350 F.

2. Steam the cauliflower, and blend into a puree.

3. Add all ingredients to one bowl, and mix my hand or with a hand-mixer.

4. Melt chocolate chips in microwave in a glass pyrex measuring cup. Fold them into the batter.

5. Pour batter into pan.

6. Bake 25-35 minutes. They will have cracks on top when they are done, and they look done in the center.

7. Remove the pan from the oven, sprinkle a few chips on top, and let brownies cool in the pan for 15 minutes.

8. Lift the brownies out using the parchment paper wings and let cool in refrigerator 30 minutes before slicing.

9. To slice the chilled brownies, run a sharp knife under hot water

Storage

These brownies refrigerate well. Wrap each individually and refrigerate for a week. Or freeze for one month.

Recipe Tips

Cauliflower puree. You need 1 cup of cauliflower puree. So achieve this by steaming or boiling 2 cups of florets or steaming a bag of cauliflower rice. Either way, blend the hot steamed cauliflower into a puree. Add a few teaspoons of water if needed to get the blender going.

Chocolate chips. Melt these in the microwave at 1 minute. Swirl it into the brownies to add another level of fudge.

Flour. These brownies work best with an all purpose flour or a gluten free baking flour. Almond flour has too much fat and would change the texture.
