Description
A friendly twist on savory baking, these Broccoli and Feta Brownies are a portable delight that mixes garden-fresh broccoli with tangy feta in a tender square.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 ¾ cups all-purpose flour
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1 teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
- ½ teaspoon garlic powder
- ¼ teaspoon onion powder
- Pinch of red pepper flakes (optional)
- ¾ cup milk (any type, dairy or non-dairy)
- ½ cup olive oil
- 2 large eggs, at room temperature
- 1 cup (about 120g) finely chopped fresh broccoli florets
- ¾ cup (about 90g) crumbled feta cheese
- ¼ cup chopped fresh parsley (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease an 8×8-inch baking pan with olive oil or baking spray.
- Steam the broccoli florets until crisp-tender (3–5 minutes) and rinse under cold water to stop cooking. Drain and press out excess moisture.
- Crumble feta into bite-sized pieces and bring eggs to room temperature.
- In a large bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, and red pepper flakes.
- In another bowl, whisk the milk, olive oil, and eggs until smooth.
- Combine the wet mixture with the dry ingredients until just mixed. Small lumps are fine.
- Fold in broccoli, feta, and parsley gently.
- Spread the batter in the prepared pan and bake for 25–30 minutes until edges are golden.
- Let cool on a wire rack for 30–45 minutes before slicing.
- Serve warm or at room temperature.
