Why Choose Beet and Walnut Brownies?

Ingredients Needed
- 1 cup cooked and pureed beets
- 1/2 cup honey or maple syrup
- 2 large eggs
- 1/3 cup melted coconut oil
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 3/4 cup almond flour
- 1/4 cup cocoa powder
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup chopped walnuts
Steps to Make Beet and Walnut Brownies
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a baking pan or line it with parchment paper. In a large bowl, whisk together the beet puree, honey, eggs, coconut oil, and vanilla until smooth. In a separate bowl, combine the almond flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring until well combined. Fold in the chopped walnuts.
Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan and spread evenly. Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Let the brownies cool before cutting into squares.
