Vegan Dark Chocolate Brownies image

Decadent tasting, dark chocolate, with tons of protein, added fruits and veggies and no added oil. Very flexible recipe. I usually make this with eggs since I'm not vegan just dairy free at this point but have made them successfully with chia and/or flax seed eggs. Use whatever veggies and fruit you have on hand-I've used apples, pears, bananas (adds a bit of a banana taste), spinach, etc. Add sugar and cocoa powder to your taste preferences. As described they are semi-sweet and fairly dark chocolate. My non-vegan version is also on this site: http://www.food.com/recipe/healthy-dark-chocolate-brownies-479905

2 -3 carrots
2 tablespoons ground flax seeds or 2 eggs
1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla
