This easy carrot brownies recipe starts off with a box mix and requires simple ingredients. It's super fudgy and moist and packed with chocolate and shredded carrots.
I made these carrot brownies, using a bunch of leftover leftover shredded carrots because I am not fond of wasting food.
Normally, I am a HUGE fan of my fudgy brownies with crackly tops recipe because everything about them is perfect!
These are not the same as carrot blondies or carrot cake bars because those do not have chocolate or cocoa powder.
These brownies are rich, fudgy and the addition of those carrots makes them a little chewy too, which is incredible!
I also added a little cinnamon because it compliments the chocolate flavor so well and reminds me of carrot cake.
No wonder these brownies were gone in a day and honestly, my son couldn't even tell the difference.

How to make carrot brownies?
Start off by mixing together eggs, water, oil, shredded carrots. Then, add the brownie mix, cinnamon, chocolate chips and mix everything until just combined. Pour batter in a square pan. Bake and enjoy.
Here are some TIPS for making these chocolate carrot brownies:
- To make CAKE LIKE brownies, add 1 extra egg and the rest of the ingredients will stay the same.
- I didn't think it was necessary to frost these brownies because I like that crackly top but you can frost them in cream cheese frosting or chocolate buttercream frosting.
- Make sure the carrots are FINELY GRATED so they blend together better with
- To make gluten free carrot brownies, use a gluten free brownie mix.
- You can also DECORATE a sheet pan of these brownies with frosting and orange chocolate dipped carrot strawberries and crushed Oreos to make carrot patch brownies. Kids would love that at Easter parties.
- You must use a brownie mix and NOT a cake mix. Carrot cake brownies from cake mix don't have the same fudgy texture.
- To get perfect EVEN slices, make sure to let the brownies cool down and then cut even slices.
Well, that's all for today.
Next on my list is to make raw carrot brownies or secretly healthy carrot brownies that have the same flavor as these fudge carrot brownies. Looks like I have a big task ahead of me...hehe.

I was just thinking of beetroot brownies when I see your lovely carrot brownies. We are thinking at the same wavelength 😀 Your brownies look very pretty and delicious. I love brownies too, especially the chewy ones. And your baby is SO cute! But one day...he won't let go anymore...haha. He will ask for more.
Jenny
I love the idea of carrot and chocolate together! I love carrot cookies, my home economics teacher taught us how to make them, but they don't look anywhere near as delicious and decadent as these!
Bibi
I tried to sneak veggies into cookies & cakes before, but never brownies....I gotta try this

Great idea! It would never have occurred to me to add carrots to chocolate brownies, but they are rather sweet. And of course there's carrot cake. Really creative - thanks.
Asmita
What a great way of getting veggies into your kids diet. These look amazing!

I love peanut butter M&M's! My affair with them started off with just peanut M&M's but I can't resist either! I love this idea. Like red velvets I suppose but with carrot instead of beetroot of course!
Wendy Irene
I don't like to waste food either and I think it is really awesome that you made carrots into dessert. The pictures of the little hands on the M&M box are so adorable.
