A brownie is a chocolate cake small, typical of the gastronomy of the United States. Egg, cocoa and chocolate are common ingredients of this cake, of which, however, we can find numerous versions. This carrot brownie that we encourage you to prepare today is just one more.
This brownie unlike others it does not contain sugar among its ingredients. Carrots and dates are responsible for adding the sweet spot to this preparation and counteracting the bitterness of chocolate and pure cocoa.
