I love easy breakfast casseroles that also work great for lunch or dinner. This fun spinach "brownies" recipe is simple to put together and packed with nutritious spinach and creamy mozzarella. The addition of the flour (any type you prefer) makes the texture similar to a brownie, and a wonderful change for a breakfast casserole or a delicious side dish with any dinner. This spinach bread recipe is the perfect bite of protein any time!

To make this easy spinach recipe you will need spinach, flour, salt, baking powder, eggs, milk, butter, onion and mozzarella cheese. The wholesome ingredients are mixed together, spread into a baking pan and baked for about 30 minutes. Let the spinach brownies cool a bit before cutting them into squares.
