Instructions

Preheat oven to 425 F. Wash and remove stems of the beets. Place them on tin foil, wrap tightly and place on a baking sheet.
Bake at 425 F 45 minutes. Remove from the oven, unwrap the tin foil and cool 20 minutes. Carefully peel the skin from the beets and slice into quarters.
Preheat oven to 350 F. Prepare a 8x8 square baking dish with a small amount of cooking spray.
Place beets with all ingredients (except chocolate chips) in a food processor or blender. Blend on high until beets are broken down and all ingredients are fully blended. Transfer the batter to the prepared baking pan.
Bake at 350 F 22-25 minutes until a toothpick can be inserted clean into the center.
Remove from the oven, add chocolate chips to the top of the brownies and cool 30 minutes in the pan before slicing into 16 bars.
