I came across few beet brownies and beet chocolate cake recipes a few days ago. I had a cup of pureed beets in the freezer and wanted to use it up and since it's been a while since I made brownies, beet brownies it was.

So I was browsing through one of my favorite books "Deceptively Delicious", and my eyes fell on the brownies recipe. It used ½ cup each carrot puree and spinach puree. I thought why not use the 1 cup of beet puree instead. I'm glad that I tried this beet brownies because it turned out very tasty. Pumpkin puree and sweet potato puree are very good alternatives too.Recipe

These are wonderful! I've used GF all-purpose flour in place of the oat flour with great results, but the oat flour is also great. My only suggestion is to stir the margarine or butter into the melted chocolate first, before the other ingredients, so that it melts from the heat of the chocolate. I use 3 oz of semisweet chocolate chips, and melt them in in the microwave in a 4c measuring cup. That's a big enough container to add all of the other ingredients without having to wash another bowl.

Love your recipe and would like to try this. Can I replace margarine spread with unsalted butter?

  I guess so Michelle. Just reserve some of the water to make blending easier.

Hi madhuram, tried this it was delicious... Came out awesome... Used beet pur?e instead of applesauce mentioned... No one could find beet root or oat flour. Mine had chocolate color exactly like a brownie though I used more beet root pur?e! Thank u so much...

Made it yesterday and turned out wonderful. As you mentioned, it turned out fudgy due to beet texture, but I am ready to forgo that due to rich nutrients in it. I cut butter measurement into half and cannot boast enough of it being so healthy with oat and beet in it. And yes, my 1 yr old too gave it a thumbs up 🙂

I like to make this for my daughter's second birthday. How long I can store this for? The birthday is on Jan 7th. Also, I hope I can use cashews instead of walnuts.

I am getting addicted to this website...:)

Thanks.

  Hi Sasi, in our house we finish off the brownies within 3 days. I think it will keep good for about a week in the refrigerator and maybe even more in the freezer. But haven't tried both.

Hi Madhuram,
For valentine's day, please check out the recipe for "Chocalate Red
Velvet Cake" under http://www.christinacooks.com It is eggless and
something to explore. She has her show on PBS channel, a very good
show. All of her recipes are eggless and healthy cooking.

  I checked the recipe Neela. That's a very good one. Thank you very much for the link. I used to watch her show regularly when we were in the US.

This is an awesome recipe... Loved it. I made a few changes to the recipe though. I had some cocoa powder that was very strong and bitter (Green n Black organic cocoa powder) so instead of buying semisweet chocolate. I used part of the 1/4 cup of powder and mixed with some honey to make it into a thick paste like consistency.

That's a great idea Sindhu.

Hi Madhu where can I find oat flour I looked in walmart I did not find.

Asha, you can find it in the regular grocery stores itself, most probably in the organic aisle or in Whole Foods, Trader Joes. You can very much make it at home too. Simply process quick cooking oats in a food processor and sift it before using. For this recipe I too made it at home only.
