1. Fudgy Beet Brownies

Roasted beets do some heavy lifting in these rich and dense brownies. They add texture, moisture, and a tempting red velvet hue without any of the earthy beet flavors you might anticipate. These Fudgy Beet Brownies by Ashley Madden are unquestionably unique and the most delicious brownies I’ve ever made. The dark bitter chocolate and sweet coconut sugar balance each other perfectly; and the chickpea flour and walnut base offer such essential nutrients as protein and omega-3 fatty acids without compromising any of the fudgy goodness you expect from a great brownie. These are at their best when cooled, but are also super yummy served a little warm with vegan ice cream. Credit: Reprinted with permission from Plant-Based Delicious by Ashley Madden.
