Brownies w/Carrots and Spinach

Ok - so I'm sure the title has turned you off, but you really should try them. I just got this recipe from a friend, and they actually are yummy. They might not be the most incredible brownie I've ever tasted, but I definitely enjoyed eating it. Here it goes.

3 oz semi sweet chocolate
1/2 c carrot puree
1/2 c spinach puree
1/2 c brown sugar
1/4 c cocoa
2 T butter
2 t vanilla
2 egg whites
3/4 c flour (or oat flour)
1/2 t baking powder
1/2 t salt

Melt chocolate, being careful not to burn it (use a double boiler, or very low heat). In large bowl combine melted chocolate, carrot and spinach purees, sugar, cocoa, butter, and vanilla. Mix until smooth. Add egg whites. Mix well. Add flour, baking powder, and salt and mix until blended. Bake at 350 in a greased 8"x8" pan. Cool completely before cutting and serving. DO NOT SERVE UNTIL COOLED COMPLETELY. The brownies loose the taste of spinach as they cool.
