Butter Nut Squash Brownies

They are the healthiest brownies that you will ever eat. My kids love them! They sound weird but they are pretty good. I dont like them warm, they taste better cold.


1 C nut butter (peanut, almond, roasted cashews, pecan)
C honey
tsp baking soda
1 egg
3 4 T cocoa
C cooked butternut squash mashed until smooth
C chopped walnuts or pecans (optional)
Mix ingredients well. Pour into greased baking pan, bake at 350 for 25-30 minutes

Wow, you could eat the entire batch and have a serving of veggies and a protein (egg) and all that good nut butter.....sounds like a great breakfast to me!

I forgot to get the pumpkin when I went outside to feed the critters
It is cold and wet out there. I'm not going out again til it's time to lock the chickens up. Hopefully I'll remember to bring the pumpkin in then.

The possibilities are endless aren't they? Pumpkin, zucchini, carrot...

Two thumbs up from everyone here at my house. I had to hide the tray so we could savor them all weekend.
