RECIPE ##
##############
-----------------------
Beetroot Brownies (22x22 cm)
-----------------------
300g cooked beetroot
200g whole wheat flour (spelt)
250ml plant-based milk (e.g., soy)
150g pitted dates
60g nut butter (e.g., almond or cashew)
60g unsweetened cocoa powder
1 tbsp apple cider vinegar
1 tsp baking soda
1 tsp ground cinnamon
1/3 tsp ground nutmeg
1/3 tsp ground ginger
1/4 tsp ground cloves
Pinch of salt
Optional:
40g dark chocolate
-----------------------
**The dates should be very soft. If not: Warm the plant-based milk, pour it over the dates, and let them soak for 15 minutes.
Blend the beets, dates, nut butter, and plant-based milk in a blender until smooth and creamy. This may take 1–2 minutes, depending on the blender's power. In a bowl, combine the flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, and spices. Then add the apple cider vinegar and the beet cream and mix everything into a homogeneous batter—do not use a hand mixer!
Pour the batter into a 22 x 22 cm (9 x 9 inch) baking pan and smooth the surface. Optional: Roughly chop the dark chocolate and either fold it into the batter or sprinkle it on top and press it in lightly. There's always room for more chocolate!
Bake in a preheated oven at 180°C (350°F) for approximately 30–34 minutes. Let it cool and remove it from the pan.
