Equipment

Ingredients

1/2 cup beet puree (about 2 medium beets, processed in high powered blender or food processor until pureed)
1/3 cup pure maple syrup
2 large eggs
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
1 cup , plus 2 tablespoons, almond flour
1/3 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 cup mini dark chocolate chips, melted
1/4 cup mini dark chocolate chips

Instructions

Preheat oven to 350F degrees and spray 24-cup mini muffin pan with nonstick spray.
Prepare beet puree by adding two cooked beets to a high-powered blender, or food processor, and processing until completely pureed, about 2 minutes.
In a medium bowl, stir together beet puree, maple syrup, eggs and vanilla.
In a another medium bowl, whisk together almond flour, cocoa powder, salt, baking soda and baking powder.
Stir beet puree mixture into dry flour mixture until thoroughly mixed.
In a small microwave-safe bowl, add 1/2 cup mini chocolate chips and microwave in 30 second increments just until melted. Stir regularly to prevent chocolate from burning.
Stir melted chocolate into brownie batter until combined.
Divide brownie batter evenly between prepared 24-cup mini muffin tin. Top with 1/4 cup mini chocolate chips.
Bake for 13-15 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in center of brownie comes out clean.
Allow brownie bites to cool on wire rack. Store in airtight container.

No need to cook beets to make these brownies as many grocery stores now carry pre-cooked beets (which is what I used)!

If you prefer to cook your own beets, wrap two or three beets in foil and place on baking sheet. Bake about 45 minutes in a 400F degree oven, or until beets are tender when pierced with a fork. Remove beets from oven and allow to cool before removing the skins.
