Beetroot and chocolate brownies
Squidgy, fudgy brownies with a surprising ingredient
Servings: 16
Calories: 217kcal
Equipment
- 23cm square baking tin
- Saucepan
- Food processor
Ingredients
- 250 g dark chocolate(70% cocoa solids)
- 200 g butter, plus a little extra for greasing the tin
- 250 g cooked beetroot drained
- 200 g light brown sugar
- 3 eggs
- 150 g ground almonds
- 2 tbsp cocoa powder
- 4 tbsp plain flour
- Beetroot powder or cocoa to dust (optional)
Method
- Preheat the oven to 200°C or 180°C if using a fan oven. Prepare a 23cm square baking tin by greasing all over with a little butter. Line with baking paper.
- Place the chocolate and butter in a heavy based saucepan on a medium heat and stir until completely melted. Once melted, remove from the heat and leave to cool slightly.
- Tip the beetroot into a food processor and process to a puree, pausing the motor to scrape down the sides if necessary. Add the light brown sugar and mix well in the processor to create a pink paste.
- Add the melted chocolate, butter and the eggs and whizz again until combined. Again, scrape the sides down, then add the ground almonds, cocoa and plain flour until you have a smooth batter.
- Spoon the brownie mixture into the prepared baking tin and bake in the oven for 30-40 minutes until the top is set and the brownie is starting to come away from the sides of the tin.
- A skewer inserted into the centre will come out fairly clean but stick a touch sticky – don’t worry if it still seems a little soft as it will firm up on cooling and these brownie bites are designed to be quite squidgy and moist. Remove from the oven, place on a cooling rack, and allow to go cold in the tin.
- Once cool, ease the brownie from the tin and cut into 16 squares. If using, dust the surface with a little beetroot powder or cocoa powder and enjoy.
