Preheat oven to 350 and spray 8x8 pan with nonstick spray.
Take your spinach leaves and put them in the food processor with 1-2 tablespoons of water and pulse until it turns into a puree. Keep doing this until you get 1 full cup of spinach puree. This usually equals about 4-5 cups raw spinach leaves.
Mix melted butter, brown sugar and sugar together in a bowl. Stir in melted chocolate chips, spinach puree and vanilla.
In another bowl mix your flour, cocoa powder and baking powder together.
A little at a time, add your dry flour mixture to your chocolate spinach mixture, stirring continuously until it's all smooth.
Pour batter in 8x8 pan and bake for 30-35 minutes or until your toothpick comes out clean.
Let cool.
Peanut Butter Frosting
Put butter and peanut butter in a bowl and mix with electric mixer.
Slowly pour in your powdered sugar a little at a time. When it starts to thicken, add your 2 tablespoons milk in and continue to mix. You should keep mixing for about 2-3 minutes until your frosting is fluffy. If it's still thick, add a additional tablespoon of milk if needed.
Chocolate Spinach Brownies with Peanut Butter Frosting
Once brownies are cool, spread your peanut butter frosting across them.
