How to Prepare Beet Brownie Bites [Vegan]

Preheat your oven to 350°F and spray a 24 mini-cupcake pan with coconut oil and set aside.
Mix the ground flaxseed with the water and set aside to sit for at least 5 minutes, until the mixture becomes sticky.
In a medium-sized bowl, mix together the coconut sugar, vanilla extract, coconut oil, beet purée, and flaxseed mixture until incorporated.
To break up any clumps in the dry ingredients, carefully sift the flour, salt, baking powder, cinnamon, and cacao powder in the mixing bowl. Mix together the dry ingredients with the wet ingredients until incorporated. Add in (optional) chopped walnuts and/or chopped chocolate and mix until coated.
Add 1 teaspoon of brownie mixture to each hole of the cupcake pan. Bake for about 8-10 minutes until a toothpick comes out clean.
Remove from the oven and place the brownie bites on a rack to cool.
Eat as is or sift powder sugar and/or cacao powder on top before eating.

Notes

- Clean the beets and place them in a medium-sized pot covered with water. Cook the beets over medium-high heat until soft (easily prick the beet with a fork). - Drain the water and peel the skins off the beets (the skins should come off by scraping the skins with a spoon). - Add beets to a high-speed blender or food processor and add 2 tsp filtered water and blend until smooth. - Regular cane sugar would work too instead of coconut sugar.
