Red Velvet Valentine Brownies
Ingredients
- ½ cup of pureed beets
- ½ cup nut butter
- ½ cup Sunwarrior Cocoa Powder
- 2 Scoops Sunwarrior Slim Collagen Boost, red velvet flavor
- 2 tablespoons ground flaxseed
- ¼ cup almond milk
- 1 tablespoon Sunwarrior Beetroot Powder
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- ½ teaspoon baking powder
- Cocoa powder for dusting the top at the end
** If you would like to make the recipe a bit sweeter, add 1 tablespoon of maple syrup, a few drops of stevia, or a flavored milk.
Directions
1.) Heat oven to 375F. Grease a baking dish (I used 8x8) with coconut oil or line with parchment paper.
2.) The beets can either be fresh roasted, or you can use a prepackaged brand . Once cooked, puree the beets in a food processor.
3.) Combine beets, nut butter, cocoa powder, Slim Collagen Boost, flaxseed, almond milk, beetroot powder, cinnamon, vanilla extract, and baking powder.
4.) Once mixed thoroughly, pour the batter evenly into a baking dish. If you wish to add any toppings, now is the time. Some topping ideas include chocolate chips, cacao nibs, or coconut flakes.
5.) Place in the oven and bake for 20-25 minutes. Remove from oven, dust with cocoa powder. Let cool for 5-10 minutes. Enjoy - and spread the love this Valentines Day!
