I got this out of Parenting Magazine. An easy way to add some extra nutrition into dessert! Ingredients:
cooking spray |
6 tablespoons unsalted butter |
1 cup brown sugar, packed |
1/2 cup sweet potato, pureed |
1/2 cup carrot, pureed |
3/4 cup creamy peanut butter (plus extra for icing) |
2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract |
2 large eggs |
1/2 teaspoon salt |
3/4 cup oat bran |
1 cup unbleached all-purpose flour |
powdered sugar (optional) |
Directions:
1. NOTE: Carrot & sweet potato purees can be used interchangeably; use one or the other, or both, as long as it totals 1 cup.
2. Preheat oven to 325. Spray bottom, not the sides, of a 9x13 pan.
3. in a saucepan over medium heat, melt the butter and brown sugar. Remove from heat and allow mixture to cool for a bit.
4. Whisk the puree, peanut butter, vanilla, eggs & salt. Add the oat bran and flour. Mix until just combined then pour into prepared baking pan.
5. Bake for 30-33 minutes, until a tooth pick comes out clean. Allow to cool completely in pan. Frost with peanut butter or dust with powdered sugar.
