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.

Hi! These look awesome! Love the idea of hiding carrots in the brownies for my kids. Your baby is so cute, the day will come when he eats up all the entire tray of it!

You little one is just adorable!
I love kids at this age, they get fascinated with things for a minute and then forget it even exists
Can you believe I have never made brownies! I know the horror!

Carrot cake brownies are a great idea! I made carrot cake muesli bars and hubby loved the extra moisture from the carrots so I can imagine the brownies would be so good!

I have all the ingredients needed and actually could not find the time to make brownies. I love the idea of how you have used M&M for this recipe and it looks superbly good. I will try out and let you know in due course.

I never really used to like carrots so I would have shook my head at these brownies, but I'm all good with carrots now. 😀 Would totally take a big bite out of it, it looks so indulgent!

Your wee one knows by now the goodness of M&M.
I have tried once pumpkin brownies but I'm guessing carrot brownies are as delish as they sound! mmm

I may have to give these a try. I did chocolate beet cake once and it didn't go over at all (even though I didn't confess until after). Good tip on shredding the carrots fine!

I adore your website and I love that you featured Uru, she is one talented baker and I really enjoy her blog. If it were not for her I would not have found your site. Such incredibly beautiful work!!

Thanks for the wonderful feedback everyone.
@ Thoma...i have heard greek yogurt can be substituted for sour cream but i have never tried it. So, i don't know if that would affect the flavor...

I love that you used veggies in these - it is a good way to sneak them in for kids 🙂
