Follow Me on Pinterest

This is my take two on black bean-beetroot brownies. Take one is here. This husband likes this version better than the previous.

Ingredients
  1. 1.5 cups Cooked black beans, mushed up in a blender 
  2. 2 cups Soaked and ground up almonds 
  3. 1.5 cups Beetroot, cooked and ground up
  4. 1 cup Dutch processed unsweetend chocolate powder
  5. 4 Eggs
  6. Stevia to taste
  7. Oil for lining pan
  8. A pinch of salt
  9. Baking powder, a pinch
  10. Baking soda, a pinch


Method:
  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees
  2. Mix 1 through 4 together
  3. Break the four eggs into the mixture and incorporate
  4. Add stevia and salt and taste to make sure they are in the right proportions
  5. Line a 9"x9" pan with aluminum foil and dribble some oil on it
  6. Bake for 45 minutes or until done.
Made 25,  2"x2" brownie. Texture was almost crisp rather than moist.

For a dessert, I suppose this is not too bad. Top with berries or berry compote for added flavor/style/fun

I just kept adding a little teaspoon at a time until "it tasted right". It turned out to be slightly less sweet that 85% cacao. So... I guess it really comes down to personal taste.
