Decadent Beetroot Brownies: A Healthy Twist on a Classic Treat

Indulgent Beetroot Brownies

As the weather starts to cool down and the leaves begin to change color, I find myself craving cozy, comforting desserts. Today, I’m excited to share a unique twist on a classic treat — beetroot brownies! These indulgent brownies are rich, fudgy, and surprisingly healthy thanks to the addition of beets.

To make these scrumptious beetroot brownies, you’ll need the following ingredients:

• 2 medium beets, peeled and grated
• 200g dark chocolate, chopped
• 1/2 cup butter
• 2 eggs
• 1/2 cup cocoa powder
• 1/2 cup coconut sugar
• 1/2 cup oat flour
• 1 tsp vanilla extract
• 1 tsp baking powder
• 1/2 tsp salt

Before you begin, preheat your oven to 350°F (180°C) and grease a baking dish. In a saucepan over low heat, melt the butter and dark chocolate until smooth. Remove from heat and let it cool slightly. In a separate bowl, whisk together the eggs, coconut sugar, and vanilla extract until well combined.

Next, fold in the melted chocolate mixture, grated beets, cocoa powder, oat flour, baking powder, and salt. Mix until everything is fully incorporated. Pour the batter into the prepared baking dish and smooth out the top.

Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with moist crumbs. Remove from the oven and let the brownies cool before slicing into squares.

To serve, dust the beetroot brownies with a sprinkle of cocoa powder or a dollop of whipped cream for an extra special touch. These brownies are perfect for sharing with friends and family or enjoying as a cozy night in treat.

One clever tip to make these beetroot brownies even more decadent is to add a handful of chopped nuts or chocolate chips to the batter before baking. The added crunch and flavor take these brownies to the next level!

I hope you give these indulgent beetroot brownies a try and enjoy them as much as I do. Feel free to get creative with the recipe and make it your own by adding your favorite mix-ins or toppings. Happy baking!
