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!

I love it with a bunch of salad greens dressed with olive oil and lemon juice.
Bonjour madame stella,
pourquoi vous ne répondez pas quand ont vous demande une renseignement sur la recette.
et vous me dite que mon message est (Votre commentaire est en attente de modération.)
Bref.
Hey Stella, can you use Almond flour? If yes, how much would you suggest
I would use the same amount here!
I LOVE this recipe and have made it several times now. I add feta cheese to add a bit of extra saltiness and extra vegetables depending on what is available. I also like that it is not too eggy.
HI Nicola, exactly! And i love the feta add in!
I just made these with gluten free flour. next time will add little more cheese and sprinkle on top. I used Mozzarella and some goats cheese. they are great perfect for breakfast on the go! thank 🙂
Hi Nicki, exactly and thank you for sharing your feeedback about the cheeses!
Best healthy brownies ever! (love the name) And I’m loving all your recipes so far – can’t wait to try more!
Hi Tricia, thanks to you for trying them out! I appreciate the kind feedback too! Cheers!
it is delicious !!! But it would be so nice to know the nutrition value to what portion is referring 😍
Hi Evelina, the servings are listed at the top of every recipe box… its just small in size
These are so good!!! I’ve been eating them for breakfast, lunch, and dinner, cold and hot😁
(and I like that they’re called brownies)
Hi Amy, HAHAHAHAH me too! best name ever!
Glad you tried them and love them! Thank you so much for the kind review! <3
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.
Hi Lucy, thanks for your positivity! You’re gonna love this BROWNIE lol
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
Could I use regular marble cheese in this in place of the gruyere?
Hi Morgan yes! Any cheese works
How long will these keep for in the fridge?
Hi Chloe
3-4 days no problem!
Delicious! I think if I added more salt it would be 5 stars. Will definitely make again.
Hi Kara, glad you enjoyed!
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!
Good answer!! Their screen name says it all.
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!
