Ingredients

Scale

Vegetables

  • 210 oz packages frozen spinach, thawed and squeezed
  • 1 sweet onion, chopped
  • 1 garlic clove, minced

Dry Ingredients

  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • 1 tsp red pepper flakes
  • 2 tsp dried oregano

Dairy & Eggs

  • 2 eggs
  • 1 cup milk, 2%
  • ¼ cup butter, melted
  • 18 oz package shredded mozzarella cheese

Instructions

  1. Prepare the baking dish and oven: Grease and flour a 9×13-inch baking dish to prevent sticking. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) so it’s ready for baking.
  2. Mix dry ingredients: In a large bowl, combine all-purpose flour, salt, baking powder, red pepper flakes, and dried oregano. Stir well to evenly distribute the baking powder and spices.
  3. Add wet ingredients and spinach: To the dry mixture, add eggs, milk, melted butter, chopped onion, minced garlic, thawed and squeezed spinach, and shredded mozzarella cheese. Mix thoroughly until all ingredients are well incorporated into a uniform batter.
  4. Bake the brownies: Pour the batter into the prepared baking dish, spreading it evenly. Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean and the top has turned golden brown.

Notes

  • Make sure to thoroughly squeeze the frozen spinach to remove excess water, preventing soggy brownies.
  • Adjust red pepper flakes to your spice preference for a milder or spicier result.
  • Allow the brownies to cool for 10-15 minutes before slicing to help them set for easier cutting.
  • These brownies can be served warm or at room temperature, making them versatile for snacks or meals.
