Equipment
- Food processor/blender
- 20x20 cm / 8x8 inces baking dish
Ingredients
- 2 beets 400 g
- 2 cups oats certified gluten-free if necessary
- 1 cup cacao powder
- 1 tsp baking powder
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 2 1/2 cups juicy dates about 30 dates
- 1/2 cup oat milk
- walnuts for decoration
Instructions
- Wash your beets and poke using a fork. Place them in a baking dish and cover with aluminum foil. Bake at 200C/400F for about 1 hour. You will know they are done when a fork pokes easily into the beets. When done, let them cool a little, then remove the peel and cut them into cubes.
- Blend the oats into oat flour using a food processor or a blender. Add the oat flour into a large bowl.
- In the same bowl, sift the cacao powder. Then, add the baking powder and salt. Mix until combined.
- Remove the seeds from the dates and place them in the blender/food processor along with the cooked cubed beets. Pour the coconut oil and oat milk. Blend until a beautiful deep purple paste is formed.
- Add the beetroot mixture to the dry ingredients and mix to combine.
- Place a sheet of parchment paper into a baking dish. Add the brownie mixture and spread evenly. Add walnuts for decoration.
- Bake at 180C/ 350F for 25-27 minutes.
- Let the brownie cool completely before cutting, as it still cooks while it cools down. Enjoy!
