Beet Brownies Recipe
Enjoy these delicious beet brownies when you want a little more vegetables in your daily diet. You’ll need to roast the beets before making the brownies, but the extra effort is worth it!
Servings: 12 bars
Ingredients
- 2 Beets 8 ounces
- 2 Eggs room temperature
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla Extract
- ½ teaspoon Almond Extract
- ⅓ cup Maple Syrup
- ⅛ cup Coconut Oil melted
- ¼ cup Unsweetened Cocoa Powder
- 2 tablespoons Coconut Flour
- 1 cup Almond Flour
- 1 teaspoon Baking Soda
- ¼ teaspoon Salt
- 2 tablespoons Dark Chocolate Chips or dairy free chocolate chips
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.

Notes
- Don’t over mix the batter or else the brownies will turn out gummy or dense. You should stop blending as soon as the batter turns smooth.
- Let the brownies cool for at least 30 minutes before cutting them into bars so they don’t fall apart.
- This batter is very forgiving and the beets don't need to be exactly 8 ounces. It can be a little more or less and still turn out great!
- Store leftover brownies in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
