Ingredients
Method
- Preheat the oven to 180°C. Line a small square baking tin with baking paper.
- Place the avocado and cooked beetroot in a food processor and blend until smooth.
- Add the cocoa powder, maple syrup and almond butter and blend again until thoroughly combined.
- Add the flour and baking powder and mix until you have a thick, smooth batter. If the mixture seems unusually thick, add a tablespoon of water at a time until it reaches a spreadable consistency.
- Transfer the mixture to the prepared tin and smooth the top.
- Bake for 20–25 minutes, until the top is set but the centre remains slightly soft.
- Allow to cool completely in the tin before cutting into squares. The brownies will firm up as they cool.
