Amazing Brownies (with my secret healthy ingredients)

Amazing Brownies
I'll admit it: I'm setting out to completely change your perception of brownies being a taboo-treat. I tried this recipe this week and it had my family and friends begging for more. The best part; it's actually very healthy.

    • 3 cups whole-wheat pastry flour
    • 3 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder
    • 1/2 teaspoon salt
    • 1/2 cup sugar
    • 2 1/4 teaspoons baking soda
    • 1 tablespoon vanilla
    • 2 tablespoons vinegar
    • 2 loosely-packed cups frozen cauliflower, thawed completely but not cooked. (This can be substituted  for 1 cup canned pumpkin)
    • 1/2 cup canola oil or coconut oil 
    • 2 cups Almond milk
  • Directions

    Preheat oven to 350F, and grease an 8×8 square baking dish. Combine all dry ingredients in a bowl, and mix very well. Combine all liquid ingredients and the cauliflower in a food processor and blend until super-smooth, so there are NO lumps whatsoever. Pour wet into dry, and mix until just combined. Pour into your prepared pan and bake 30 minutes.
