Ingredients
1 1/4 cup of Beetroot puree1 cup of honey3/4 cup of plain cocoa powder1 teaspoon of vanilla essence2 tablespoons of chia seeds1/2 cup of buckwheat flour2/3 cup of almonds, chopped
Before you start, you should know that you can make your own beetroot puree by simply boiling chopped beetroot (a single good sized specimen should do for this recipe) and then draining and blending the result.
preheat your oven to 200C and prep a baking dish with oil. cut a piece of baking paper to fit the bottom of the tray and place inside, then oil the paper.
prep your chia seeds by placing then in a glass with 6 tablespoons of water. stir gently and let stand.
combine beetroot, honey and cocoa powder in a bowl and mix well until combined.
add in your vanilla and chia seeds - they should resemble a gel like substance at this stage. stir well to combine.
add buckwheat flour and stir well for 2 minutes, making sure to incorporate any stuck to the sides.
fold in chopped almonds.
pour into your baking dish and bake for 15 to 20 minutes, or until a knife comes out clean.
remove immediately from baking dish to cool completely before cutting.
Serving Size: makes 9 - 16 brownies
