Now, I’m not a fan of ‘sneaking’ vegetables into food, but if I’m gonna eat a brownie, it might as well have vegetables in it. After baking, I put some in the freezer and they turned into a fudge bar type of thing. Red velvet colored or not, there are few things better than an ice cold fudge bar? And if you slather a bit of peanut butter onto these you will not regret it. Do it.
