Baking dish
Whisk or spatula
- 2 beetroots medium-cooked
- 2 tbsp flaxseed meal
- ¼ cup beetroot water from cooked beetroot
- 3 tbsp coconut oil
- ¼ cup almond milk
- 1 tbsp vanilla extract
- ¼ cup cornstarch
- ¼ cup oatmeal
- 250 g self-raising flour wholemeal
- 1 tsp baking powder
- ¼ tsp bicarbonate soda

- ¼ cup agave syrup or maple syrip
- 1 tbsp cacao nibs

To make Ganache
- 2 tbsp coconut oil

Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F) and grease your baking dish with a little coconut oil.
In a blender or food processor, combine the cooked beetroots, flaxseed meal, beetroot water, coconut oil, almond milk, and vanilla extract. Blend until smooth and creamy.
In a separate mixing bowl, whisk together the cornstarch, oatmeal, wholemeal self-raising flour, baking powder, bicarbonate soda, and salt.
Pour the blended beetroot mixture into the dry ingredients and mix well until everything is thoroughly combined.
Add the agave syrup and cacao nibs to the batter and gently fold them in. Transfer the batter to the greased baking dish and spread it evenly.
Place the dish in the preheated oven and bake for approximately 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with a few moist crumbs.
Once baked, remove the brownies from the oven and let them cool completely in the dish.
How to Make Ganache for Vegan Beetroot Brownies
In a small bowl, combine melted coconut oil, cocoa powder, cornstarch and vanilla extract. Stir continuously until the mixture is smooth and glossy.
Add maple syrup to the saucepan and continue stirring until the ganache thickens slightly.
Let the ganache sit for a few minutes. Once cooled, use a spatula to evenly spread the ganache over the brownies. Cut them into squares. Serve and enjoy
