Sneaking a vegetable into the brownies not only adds some good things, it also adds valuable moistness into the brownies, as in this Fruit And Nut Lauki Brownies Recipe. This is an easy recipe that just needs a couple of bowls and spoons to put together, with a bit of grated lauki, and as much nuts and dry fruits as you can.
Make sure you have apple sauce also, which is essentially the peeled apples, cooked and pureed. It also does not involve the painful process of squeezing out any moisture from the lauki, since the brownies batter can be prepared with the same rich moisture of grated lauki. Great for kids snack boxes and they can hardly tell a vegetable in there.
This Fruit And Nut Lauki Brownies Recipe can also be served as a party dessert after a meal like Orange Flavored Barbecue Chicken With Fresh Salad Recipe during a barbeque party at home, or after a meal of Fettuccine Pasta with Roasted Red Bell Pepper Sauce Recipe with your family and friends.

How to make Fruit And Nut Lauki Brownies Recipe
To begin making Fruit And Nut Lauki Brownies Recipe, prep all the ingredients and keep them ready and handy.
Grease and line a square brownie dish and set aside. Also keep the oven on preheating mode at 175 C for about 10 minutes.
Meanwhile, beat the nut butter (peanut butter or almond butter, apple sauce made by cooking the apple, grinding and pureeing them, vanilla extract and honey together in a bowl till it looks and feels homogenous.
Add grated lauki into this and mix well.
In another mixing bowl, mix together oat flour, salt, cocoa powder and baking soda.
Combine the wet and dry ingredients together. This should yield a thick batter.
Toss the walnuts, cranberries and chocolate chips in 1-2 teaspoons cocoa powder and incorporate into the batter. The batter should not be very runny. You can adjust consistency with one or two teaspoons of oats flour if the batter is thin.
Transfer the batter into the brownie dish and bake in a 175 C preheated oven for 28-30 minutes or until done.
Insert a skewer in the middle of the dish to check if it is baked thoroughly. If the skewer comes clean, the brownie is done. Or else, you can continue baking for a couple of more minutes till done.
Cool on a wired rack. Cut into slices and then top the brownie with chocolate sauce/ganache and serve.
