After I learned how to make classic vegan brownies, my creativity couldn’t stop there (!) and I started to make different kinds of brownies. My other specialties are raw brownie and black bean brownie, and this time I prepared a delicious beetroot brownie.
Sounds strange? Don’t worry, you won’t taste the beets when it is done. But it will be definitely healthier than a simple brownie. Beets contain a lot of iron, calcium, and magnesium, so it is very useful especially for vegans. It also contains betaine, which has a fat burning effect. Which is great when we are eating cakes, right?
