Ingredients

Scale

dry

  • 2 1/2 deciliters granulated sugar
  • 1 1/2 deciliters wheat flour
  • 1 1/2 deciliters unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder
  • pinch salt

wet

  • 1 1/2 deciliters beetroot purée
  • 1 tablespoon apple sauce
  • 1  1/2 deciliters almond milk
  • 1 deciliter extra virgin avocado oil
  • 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar

on top

  • powdered sugar

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 200° C.
  2. Line a 26-cm of diameter baking pan with parchment paper.
  3. Mix dry ingredients in a large bowl to combine.
  4. Add wet ingredients and mix everything together using a hand whisk.
  5. Pour the brownie mix into the pan and bake for 15 minutes, or until cooked perfectly. Check the consistency with a toothpick. You want it to be a little raw in the middle.
  6. Let brownie sheet rest a little and remove from the pan to a cooling rack.
  7. When cooled completely cut in squares and dust with powdered sugar.
  8. Serve with a side of fresh strawberries and chunks of your favorite dark chocolate.

Notes

  • The cooking time for the beets varies a lot depending on the size and the age of the beets available to you. It takes somewhere between 20 to 45 minutes for beetroots to soften. When cooked, set beets to cool in ice-cold water and peel with your hands or a knife after. The cold water helps with the peel to slip right off. I tend to peel beets in the sink, just in case of a slip.
