Do you have lots of beets and aren't sure what to do with them? I found a recipe that sounds very interesting even though at first you might say "yum..yucky!". Dark Chocolate Beet Brownies Does this sound even a little appealing? Great way to get those veggies into your family (or yourself!)so if you're feeling adventurous, here's the recipe:
6 T unsalted butter, melted
1/2 c. all purpose flour
1?2 t. ground cinnamon
3/4 c. golden brown sugar
2 large eggs
1 1/2 c. bittersweet ch.chips, melted
1 t. pure vanilla extract
2/3 c. peeled and finely grated red beets (about 2 medium)
Preheat oven to 350 F. Butter and 8" square pan and line with parchment paper.
Stir flour and cinnamon together in a small bowl and set aside. In a large bowl, beat sugar with melted butter. Add eggs, one at a time, beating constantly, then add ch.chips and vanilla and beat just until blended. Add flour and cinnamon mixture and beat vigorously for 1 minute, until batter is smooth and glossy. Add beets and stir through until thoroughly blended. Spread batter evenly into pan. Bake on middle rack of oven for about 30 minutes or until a knife inserted in centre of pan comes out clean. Remove pan from oven and cool completely before turning out brownies and cutting them into squares. Serve and enjoy!
