Vegetables you can add to Sweet Desserts

Believe it or not, you can actually add a lot of vegetables in baking and have it still taste amazing. Here’s a list of some veggies you can sneak in your next muffin, cake or bread.

Zucchini

Zucchini muffins and breads are quite popular and it works because zucchini is quite neutral in taste, so you can totally put it in there and get away from not really tasting a “vegetable” in your dessert.

Cauliflower

Cauliflower has the amazing ability to make your cake really soft and delicious, without really changing the flavour at all.

Kale

Kale can be added to brownies or other baked foods.

Baby Spinach

Baby spinach has always been wonderful to add to smoothies, and so is it for desserts. You can safely add it for a green effect, without the baked food tasting very different.

Mint

Mint can totally be used to give it a minty flavour.

Carrots

Ever heard of carrot cake? Carrots are naturally sweet and do go wonderfully in cakes and muffins. You can also put things like sweet potatoes to make it sweeter.
