Beetroot Brownies Recipes

BEET BROWNIES

Steps:

• Boil beets until fork tender, about 45 minutes.
• Let beets cool for 15 minutes.
• Peel and puree the beets in a food processor or blender. You may need to add a small amount of water-anywhere from 1/2 tbsp to 2 tbsp. You can save the beet water and to use in this recipe in place of milk.
• Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
• Assemble your ingredients.
• Add the dry ingredients to a large mixing bowl: flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon and salt.
• Stir to combine and mix well.
• Add the maple syrup, milk and vanilla. Mix thoroughly to combine.
• Add beet puree to the mixing bowl.
• Stir to combine. The batter will have a purple/pink color. If you want your brownies extra chocolatey stir in 1/2 cup chocolate chips.
• Pour the batter in a non-stick baking pan or a baking dish that's lightly coated with non-stick cooking spray. Level with a spatula to smooth out the batter. We use a 9"x13" baking dish.
• Bake for approximately 25 minutes or until a knife inserted in the center comes out clean.
• Let cool for a few minutes, then serve and enjoy the moist chocolatey goodness.
