Our Vegan Chocolate Avo Brownies were so popular we thought it would be worth sharing for your weekend baking.

This recipe will serve 10.

Ingredients:

230g Beetroot

250g Unrefined sugar

125ml Soya milk

¼ tsp Salt

125ml Coconut oil melted

1 tbsp Flaxseed ground mixed with 3 tbsp Water

60g plus 4 tbsp Plain flour

115g Cocoa powder

2 tbsp Baking Powder

1 tsp Vanilla extract

For the Chocolate Ganache

1 Large ripe avocado

60g Cocoa powder

125ml Maple syrup or agave

80ml Coconut oil melted

2 tsp Pure vanilla extract

¼ tsp salt

Method

1. Preheat oven to 180C
2. Blend the chopped beetroot with the sugar, soy milk, vanilla essence and salt until smooth in a high-speed bender. Add the coconut oil and flaxseed mixture and blend once more.
3. Combine the flour, cacao powder and baking powder and baking powder in a large bowl.
4. Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and mix until a smooth batter forms.
5. Pour the mixture into a 20x20cm brownie pan lined with baking paper and bake for approximately 30-40 min. You still want the brownie to be a little moist inside as it will continue to set once removed from the oven
6. Remove from the oven and immediately put in the refrigerator for around 30 minutes to cool before icing – this time will also allow the brownie to set further.
7. In the meantime, prepare you ganache. Blend everything in a food processor until all the avocado chunks are gone.
8. Ice the brownie and transfer to the refrigerator for another hour to allow the icing to set.
9. By this time the brownie will take on a fudgy, moist and decent texture
10. For best results slice with a wet knife. Enjoy straight away.
