Flourless Beet Brownies Food

BEET BROWNIES

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350F/180. Line a 8x8-inch square baking pan with parchment paper.
• Make the flax eggs by combining the ground chia and water in a small bowl. Whisk together and let sit at least 10 minutes.
• In a food processor (or blender), puree the cooked beets until smooth, 2 minutes.
• Melt the butter and chocolate in the microwave (in 30 second increments), whisk until smooth and combined. Set aside. (Alternatively, you can do this on the stove top in a double boiler).
• In a small mixing bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, and salt.
• In a large mixing bowl beat the flax egg and sugar, on medium speed with a hand-mixer until fluffy and combined. Then add the vanilla, pureed beets, and melted chocolate. Beat until smooth, 1 minute. Add the flour mixture, bit-by-bit, while mixing on medium speed until combined.
• Pour the brownie batter into the baking pan and sprinkle with a handful of chocolate chips. Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted comes out clean. Let cool 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.

FLOURLESS BROWNIES

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
• Puree black beans, honey, cocoa powder, coconut oil, eggs, baking powder, and salt in a food processor until smooth; pour into a baking dish. Stir chocolate chips into black bean mixture and sprinkle chopped chocolate over the top.
• Bake in the preheated oven until the top is dry and the edges have started to pull away from the sides of the pan, about 35 minutes. Let cool at least 10 minutes before cutting.

FLOURLESS BEET BROWNIES

Steps:

• Heat the oven to 350 degrees. Lightly grease an 8-by-8-inch baking pan with olive oil and set aside.
• In a small bowl, whisk the cocoa powder and baking soda together. Set aside.
• Add the chopped beets, sugar and vanilla, if using, to the bowl of a food processor, and pulse until the beets are just puréed but before they begin to liquefy, scraping down the sides of the bowl as needed.
• In a small microwave-safe bowl, add 1 cup/6 ounces chocolate chips and the remaining 2 tablespoons olive oil. Heat in the microwave in 15-second intervals, stirring between each round, until the chocolate is almost completely melted, up to 75 seconds total. Remove the chocolate from the microwave, stir until completely smooth, then immediately add it to the food processor. Blend it with the beets on high until smooth. Add the eggs, blend to incorporate, then add the dry ingredients and blend until just combined, stopping to scrape down the sides of the bowl as needed.
• Remove the blade, and using a rubber spatula, scrape the brownie batter into the prepared pan, then smooth it into an even layer. Sprinkle the remaining 3 tablespoons/1 ounce chocolate chips on top and bake until the brownies have puffed and set on top but are still a little fudgy when a toothpick is inserted inside, about 25 to 30 minutes.
• Remove the brownies from the oven and allow to cool for at least 30 minutes before cutting into squares and topping with flaky sea salt.

FLOURLESS BROWNIES

Steps:

• Heat the oven to 180C/160C fan/gas 4. Butter a 4cm-deep, 20 x 20cm square cake tin and line with baking parchment. Melt 200g of the chocolate together with the butter in a large heatproof bowl set over a pan of just simmering water (ensure the bottom of the bowl doesn't touch the water), stirring occasionally. Remove from the heat and leave to cool for 10 mins.
• Meanwhile, whisk the sugar, eggs and a pinch of salt together in a large bowl until pale and foamy - it should look like a frothy milkshake. This will take 2-3 mins with an electric whisk, or about 5-8 mins with a balloon whisk. Pour in the butter and chocolate mixture along with the almonds, then fold everything together until there are no streaks of chocolate. Tip the mixture into the tin, scatter over the rest of the chocolate, and bake for 25 mins, until cooked with a slight wobble in the middle.
• Leave to cool for 10 mins, then scoop into bowls and serve warm for a pudding. Alternatively, leave to cool completely in the tin, then cut into squares and store in an airtight tin. Will keep for up to five days.
