Method
Preparation
- Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F).
- Line a baking tray (approximately 20cm x 20cm) with parchment paper.
- In a mixing bowl, combine the chopped dark chocolate and cubed butter. Melt them together in a microwave or over a bowl of hot water. Stir until smooth and set aside to cool slightly.
- In another bowl, whisk together the eggs and soft brown sugar until they become light and fluffy.
- Once the chocolate and butter mixture has cooled, pour it into the egg mixture and stir gently until combined.
- Add the grated beetroot into the mixture and mix well.
- In a separate bowl, sift together the plain flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt.
- Gradually fold the dry ingredient mixture into the wet mixture, being careful not to overmix.
- Transfer the brownie batter into the prepared baking tray, spreading it evenly using a spatula.
- Place the tray in the oven and bake for about 25-30 minutes, checking for doneness with a toothpick.
- Once baked, cool in the tray for about 10 minutes, then lift out using the parchment paper and cool completely on a wire rack.
Notes
Serve beetroot brownies plain, dusted with icing sugar, or accompanied by whipped cream or ice cream. They can be stored in an airtight container for up to 3 days or frozen for up to 3 months.
