It’s hard to believe that brownies can be healthy, but this recipe defies the usual high calorie, high-fat, fudgy or cakey chocolate dessert. Missy Chase Lapine, also known as The Sneaky Chef, toiled over many failed attempts at making a delicious, yet wholesome, brownie and finally came up with this truly delectable and good for you rendition.

Lapine, author of The Sneaky Chef: Simple Strategies for Hiding Healthy Food in Kids' Favorite Meals, “sneaks” her signature Purple Puree (a blend of antioxidant-rich blueberries and spinach) and Flour Blend (a blend of white flour, whole grain flour and wheat germ) into these brownies, which ultimately offer a healthy dose of fiber, antioxidants, and iron. Best yet, there is about half the sugar and fat found in classic brownie recipes.
