Steemit Iron Chef 2017 #12: Light Chocolate Brownies with an Angelic Surprise

Read the ingredient list.

Cauliflower?! What's it doing there!!!

Cauliflower is an extremely versatile vegetable. I've been enjoying eyeballing some of the entries that popped up this week! Cauliflower pizza, Cauliflower Falafel, Roasted Cauliflower!! Those had been on my thoughts of possible entries to make, and I scratched each one off as posts popped up! =)

So what do I make. . .? Well, a party is happening tomorrow, and I'd wanted to bring a dessert! What better way than to kill two birds with one stone?

After all, from my research, the addition of cauliflower helps to create bulk, making for a low-carb brownie with a mild nutty flavour. Surprisingly, the texture was both fudgey, light, and tender! Perfect served hot with a scoop of ice cream!
