How to Make Spinach Brownies

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9x13 inch baking pan.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour, ½ teaspoon salt, and 1 teaspoon baking powder.
  3. In a skillet, brown 1 pound Italian sausage (removed from casings), breaking it up with a spoon. Drain off any excess grease.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together 2 large eggs, ½ cup milk, and ¼ cup melted unsalted butter.
  5. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and mix until just combined. Do not overmix.
  6. Stir in 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese, ½ cup chopped onion, the browned sausage, and 10 ounces fresh spinach (roughly chopped).
  7. Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan and spread evenly.
  8. Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with moist crumbs attached. (Don't overbake!)
  9. Let cool slightly before cutting into squares and serving. Enjoy warm or at room temperature.
