These 17 hidden vegetable desserts sneaky in healthy veggies – like zucchini, beets, and pumpkin – though your eaters will never know!

Collage of hidden veggie desserts

My hobbies include cooking vegetables. And cooking treats. And sometimes hiding said vegetables into said treats.

Because whether you have a picky eater on your hands, have a surplus of veggies that need to be used, or just want to experiment with more healthy baking, adding vegetables to desserts can be a fun way to break out of the box in your cooking!

Here are 17 of our favorite hidden veggie desserts, from bean-packed brownies to silky tofu packed pie!
