Healthy Vegan Red Velvet Brownies
Ingredients
1 cup red kidney beans
½ cup cooked beets
½ cup cocoa powder
1 tsp vanilla extract
½ tsp almond extract
¾ tsp baking powder
1/8 tsp baking soda
4 tbsp apple sauce
1/8 tsp salt
¾ cup brown sugar
½ cup ground flax (I put ¼ cup of flax seeds in a clean coffee grinder and pulsed until smooth.)
¼ cup chocolate chips (optional)
Preparation
1
Preheat oven to 350.
2
Spray an 8×8 inch pan with cooking spray. Set aside.
3
In a food processor, puree kidney beans and beets. Transfer to a large bowl.
4
Add remaining ingredients and mix by hand until smooth and fully combined.
5
Fold batter into the greased pan.
6
Bake for 35-40 minutes, turning the pan halfway through.
7
When the brownies are done, test them with a toothpick. You want some batter to cling to the toothpick. Do not over bake.
8
Let cool completely. Refrigerate for one hour.
9
Cut into squares or use cookie cutters to make heart shapes.
