How To Make Chocolate Beetroot Brownies
- Start by pre-heating the oven to 180°C.

- Whizz the cooked beetroot in a food processor, adding the eggs one at a time, followed by the vanilla and sugar. Mix until smooth.
- In a separate bowl, sift the cocoa powder, flour and baking soda together and stir in the ground almonds if you are using them. Stir the beetroot mixture into the melted chocolate and fold in the dry ingredients.
