FLOURLESS BEET BROWNIES



Flourless Beet Brownies image

Despite being flourless, these beet brownies bridge the gap between fudgy and cakey, offering the best of both worlds. Raw beets make the brownies dense and moist, helping them stay luscious and soft long after they've finished baking. Though the beets bring their own natural sweetness, pulsing the chopped raw beets in a food processor with some additional granulated sugar breaks down the hard root into a vibrant red base. In fact, the food processor does most of the work in this recipe. Baked until just cooked through, the resulting brownies are rich, subtly sweet and deeply chocolatey. If you prefer your brownies a little sweeter, sub the bittersweet chocolate baking chips for semi-sweet baking chips. You can top them with a little flaky sea salt out of the oven. Serve them warm with ice cream for dessert or at room temperature with a cup of coffee in the morning.

Time 40m

Yield 9 brownies

Number Of Ingredients 9

2 tablespoons olive oil, plus more for greasing
1 cup/70 grams unsweetened regular or Dutch-process cocoa powder
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 medium red beet (about 1/4 pound), peeled and cut into 1/2-inch pieces
1/2 cup/100 grams granulated sugar
2 teaspoons vanilla extract (optional)
1 cup plus 3 tablespoons/7 ounces bittersweet or dark (60 percent cacao) baking chocolate chips
2 large eggs
Flaky sea salt, for garnish

Steps:

  • Heat the oven to 350 degrees. Lightly grease an 8-by-8-inch baking pan with olive oil and set aside.
  • In a small bowl, whisk the cocoa powder and baking soda together. Set aside.
  • Add the chopped beets, sugar and vanilla, if using, to the bowl of a food processor, and pulse until the beets are just puréed but before they begin to liquefy, scraping down the sides of the bowl as needed.
  • In a small microwave-safe bowl, add 1 cup/6 ounces chocolate chips and the remaining 2 tablespoons olive oil. Heat in the microwave in 15-second intervals, stirring between each round, until the chocolate is almost completely melted, up to 75 seconds total. Remove the chocolate from the microwave, stir until completely smooth, then immediately add it to the food processor. Blend it with the beets on high until smooth. Add the eggs, blend to incorporate, then add the dry ingredients and blend until just combined, stopping to scrape down the sides of the bowl as needed.
  • Remove the blade, and using a rubber spatula, scrape the brownie batter into the prepared pan, then smooth it into an even layer. Sprinkle the remaining 3 tablespoons/1 ounce chocolate chips on top and bake until the brownies have puffed and set on top but are still a little fudgy when a toothpick is inserted inside, about 25 to 30 minutes.
  • Remove the brownies from the oven and allow to cool for at least 30 minutes before cutting into squares and topping with flaky sea salt.

FLOURLESS BROWNIES

Serve these flourless brownies warm with ice cream for dessert. They're easy to make and require just five ingredients, so they're great for novice bakers

Categories     Afternoon tea, Treat

Time 50m

Yield Cuts into 16

Number Of Ingredients 5

200g butter , chopped, plus extra for the tin
250g dark chocolate (at least 70% cocoa solids), broken into small pieces
225g caster sugar
3 eggs
100g ground almonds

Steps:

  • Heat the oven to 180C/160C fan/gas 4. Butter a 4cm-deep, 20 x 20cm square cake tin and line with baking parchment. Melt 200g of the chocolate together with the butter in a large heatproof bowl set over a pan of just simmering water (ensure the bottom of the bowl doesn't touch the water), stirring occasionally. Remove from the heat and leave to cool for 10 mins.
  • Meanwhile, whisk the sugar, eggs and a pinch of salt together in a large bowl until pale and foamy - it should look like a frothy milkshake. This will take 2-3 mins with an electric whisk, or about 5-8 mins with a balloon whisk. Pour in the butter and chocolate mixture along with the almonds, then fold everything together until there are no streaks of chocolate. Tip the mixture into the tin, scatter over the rest of the chocolate, and bake for 25 mins, until cooked with a slight wobble in the middle.
  • Leave to cool for 10 mins, then scoop into bowls and serve warm for a pudding. Alternatively, leave to cool completely in the tin, then cut into squares and store in an airtight tin. Will keep for up to five days.

Tips:

  • Use fresh beets: Fresh beets have a more vibrant color and flavor than canned or frozen beets. If you can't find fresh beets, you can use canned or frozen beets, but be sure to drain them well before using.
  • Roast the beets before using: Roasting the beets intensifies their flavor and makes them easier to blend. To roast the beets, simply toss them with a little olive oil and salt, and roast them at 400 degrees Fahrenheit for about 45 minutes, or until they are tender.
  • Use a high-quality cocoa powder: The cocoa powder is one of the most important ingredients in these brownies, so it's important to use a high-quality powder. Look for a cocoa powder that is labeled "unsweetened" and "natural."
  • Don't overmix the batter: Overmixing the batter will make the brownies tough. Mix the batter just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Bake the brownies until they are just set: The brownies are done baking when a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with just a few moist crumbs attached.

Conclusion:

These flourless beet brownies are a delicious and healthy treat that is perfect for any occasion. They are made with simple ingredients and are easy to make. The beets give the brownies a moist and tender texture and a beautiful red color. These brownies are also gluten-free and grain-free, making them a great option for people with dietary restrictions.
