Mushroom Broccoli Brownies
A delicious savory treat for when the munchies hit.
Growing up in a Greek household, pies or pites, were a big part of my kitchen. I’m holding on to the pie part but making it simpler here without the traditional phyllo. You can use any type of mushrooms you prefer.
If you like this recipe, you will love my Spinach + Feta Brownies or my Broccoli + Feta Bars. Make these Dairy Free by using any milk of your choosing. Make them Gluten Free with any flour of your choosing. Add in vegan cheeses and flax eggs to make this dish vegan!

The term brownie should not be used.
Hi Erin, you don’t have to use the term if you don’t want to. You can call them bars if you like. Enjoy!
What makes this a brownie? This is more like a breakfast bake. not a brownie. there is nothing at all about this that is a brownie.
Hi Confused, you can call the dish whatever you prefer.. enjoy!
Delicious! I think if I added more salt it would be 5 stars. Will definitely make again.
Hi Kara, glad you enjoyed!
How long will these keep for in the fridge?
Hi Chloe
3-4 days no problem!
Could I use regular marble cheese in this in place of the gruyere?
Hi Morgan yes! Any cheese works
The picture looks amazing! That top crusty bit is a must try! Broccoli + Mushroom + Gruyere? Win! Calling something a brownie for clicks? Lose!
and no, there are things called definitions. The word brownie has three:
1. Rich chocolate baked dessert
2. Young girl group that precedes Girl Scout
3. And an angry elf
The last definition surprised me, and made me chuckle
Then made me realize that I BECOME a BROWNIE when I see the most beloved desserts name misused to describe another dish. I would’ve WANTED the mostly healthy egg bake thingy if you hadnt tried to hornswaggle this Angry Elf! I mean Brownie!
keep writing recipes, rethink the naming
I like the idea of calling it a brownie. Gives a great alternative to eating sugar junk when you just want a bite of something nutritious. Carry on!
Trying the recipe this weekend.
