Vegetables in desserts?! Cue Psycho music soundtracking a childhood flashback of carrots hidden in your spaghetti. But as it turns out, veggies and sweets can be on the same team. We already love zucchini bread and carrot cake, so why not throw some more produce in there? Plus, we're here to report: Veggie-laden treats can actually taste pretty damn good.
Check out some hidden-veggie desserts below — and who knows, you may have just unlocked a whole new way to get in those daily servings.
